C                      Em 
In this world, if you read the papers, Lord, 
                     F                     C 
you know everybody's fighting on with each other. 
C 
You got no one you can count on, baby, 
         Bb       F 
not even your own brother. 
      C              E 
So if someone comes along, 
           F                       G# 
he's gonna give you some love and affection. 
 
(Chorus:) 
         C                           Bb F 
I'd say, get it while you can, yeah! 
       C                     Bb F 
Honey, get it while you can, 
          C                     G 
hey, hey, get it while you can, 
                            Am        G 
don't you turn your back on love, no, no! 
 
          C                Em 
Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby, 
F                                  C 
you're taking a gamble on a little sorrow. 
C                            
But then who cares, baby, 
                     Bb     F 
'cause we may not be here tomorrow, no. 
       C                    E 
And if anybody should come along, 
         F                      G# 
he gonna give you any love and affection. 
 
(Chorus) 
 
(Instrumental:) C Em F C E F G# 
 
(Chorus x2)
