[Verse 1:] 
        C5                      E5
In this world, if you read the papers, Lord,
               F5                            C5
You know every-body's fighting on with each other.
        C5
You got no one you can count on, baby,
    C5         Bb5  F5
Not even your own brother.
      C5             E5
So if someone comes along,
           F5                      G#5
He's gonna give you some love and affection

[Chorus:]
        C5                           Bb5  F5
I'd say get it while you can, yeah! 
       C5                     Bb5  F5
Honey, get it while you can, 
          C5                     G5
Hey, hey, get it while you can, 
                            A5        G5
Don't you turn your back on love, no, no! 

[Verse 2:]
          C5                E5
Don't you know when you're loving anybody, baby,
F5                                   C5
 You're taking a gamble on a little sorrow,
         C5
But then who cares, baby,
          C5          Bb5      F5
'Cause we may not be here to-morrow, no.
       C5                   E5
And if anybody should come along,
         F5                     G#5
He gonna give you any love and affection,

[Chorus:]
        C5                           Bb5 F5
I'd say get it while you can, yeah! 
          C5                     Bb5  F5
Hey, hey, get it while you can, 
          C5                     G5
Hey, hey, get it while you can. 

Don't you turn your back on [Am]love,
      G5               C5
No no no, no no no no no.
