[C]I gotta get while the [F]gettin's [C]good baby
Get while the [F]gettin's [C]good
[F]Out of your life [C]into a life
Where I'll be under[G7]stood
[F]I need a lots of tender love
But [C]your heart's made out of [F]wood
If [C]I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I [G7]gotta get while the gettin's [C]good
You told me that [G7]love is one big [C]bubble
We [F]played the game by your rules and you [C]won
And [F]just today I figured out the [C]trouble
I learned to crawl [F]before I learned to [C]run
[C]I gotta get while the [F]gettin's [C]good baby
Get while the [F]gettin's [C]good
[F]Out of your life [C]into a life
Where I'll be under[G7]stood
[F]I need a lots of tender love
But [C]your heart's made out of [F]wood
If [C]I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I [G7]gotta get while the gettin's [C]good
I noticed I've quit [G7]singing in the [C]shower
I [F]rarely ever laugh and I can [C]tell
I'm [F]wilting like the petals on a [C]flower
And there's nothing left to [F]say now but [C]farewell
[C]I gotta get while the [F]gettin's [C]good baby
Get while the [F]gettin's [C]good
[F]Out of your life [C]into a life
Where I'll be under[G7]stood
[F]I need a lots of tender love
But [C]your heart's made out of [F]wood
If [C]I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I [G7]gotta get while the gettin's [C]good
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby
Get while the gettin's good
Out of your life into a life
Where I'll be understood
I need a lots of tender love
But your heart's made out of wood
If I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I gotta get while the gettin's good
You told me that love is one big bubble
We played the game by your rules and you won
And just today I figured out the trouble
I learned to crawl before I learned to run
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby
Get while the gettin's good
Out of your life into a life
Where I'll be understood
I need a lots of tender love
But your heart's made out of wood
If I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I gotta get while the gettin's good
I noticed I've quit singing in the shower
I rarely ever laugh and I can tell
I'm wilting like the petals on a flower
And there's nothing left to say now but farewell
I gotta get while the gettin's good baby
Get while the gettin's good
Out of your life into a life
Where I'll be understood
I need a lots of tender love
But your heart's made out of wood
If I'm never gonna find a peace of mind
I gotta get while the gettin's good
