This is my first time I think it is correct  
Capo 1 

intr: A , E , D , E 

                              A 
People, I've been misled 
               D 
and I've been afraid 
                               A 
I've been hit in the head  
         D 
and left for dead 
           A 
I've abused 
                         D 
and I've been accused 
               A                       D 
been refused a piece of bread 


                   A 
But I ain't never 
            D 
in my life before 
                          A 
seen so many love affairs 
                       D 
go wrong as I do today 


                         A     (studder mute) 
I want you to STOP  
                                 D 
and find out what's wrong 
          A 
get it right 
                            D 
or just leave love alone 


                       B                     E 
Chorus:  Because the love you save today 
               D                   A 
maybe will-l-l-l be your own 


E , E , E 

                                A 
I've been pushed around 
                 D       
I've been lost and found 
A 
I've been given til sundown  
D 
to get out of town 
 A 
I've been taken outside 
 D 
and I've been brutalized 
 A                                                          D             
and I've had to always be the one to smile and apologize 


             A 
But I ain't never 
           D 
in my life before 
                         A 
seen so many love affairs 
                        D 
go wrong as I do today 


        A  (studder mute) 
So Stop 
                          D 
find out what's wrong 
           A 
get it right 
                                 D 
or please leave love alone 


                        B                  E 
Chorus:  Because the love you save today 
                   D                  A 
maybe will-l-l-l be your own
