In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
               F                            C
You know every-body's fighting on with each other.
        C
You got no one you can count on, baby,
    C         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

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,
          C          Bb      F
'Cause we may not be here to-morrow, no.
       C                   E
And if anybody should come along,
         F                     G#
He gonna give you any love and affection,

[Chorus:]
        C                           Bb F
I'd say get it while you can, yeah! 
          C                     Bb  F
Hey, hey, get it while you can, 
          C                     Gm
Hey, hey, get it while you can. 

Don't you turn your back on [Am]love,

No no no, no no no no no.
