The Love You Save May Be Your Own Chords by Etta James

[Bb] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _
I'm talking to all the lovers in the house tonight.
_ _ _ [Bb] _
Now listen, _ _ _ _ [Ab] you know I want you [Eb] to find out what's wrong _ _ _ and get it [Cm] right.
[Bb] _ _
Or you should leave love alone.
_ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] Because the love you save, _ _ it might be [Bb] your own.
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _
_ [Bbm] People, [Bb] I've been misled, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Eb] and I've been afraid. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] I've been hit in the _ head, _ _ _ _ oh, [Eb] and left for dead. _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] I've been _ _ abused, _ _ _ _ oh, and I've [Eb] been _ _ _ accused. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] Been _ refused _ _ _ a piece _ [Eb] of bread. _ _ _ _
_ But I [Bb] ain't never _ _ _ _ in my life [Eb] _
before _ _ _ _ seen _ so [Bb] many love _ affairs _ _ go [Ab] wrong as [Eb] I do today.
_ _ _ I _ _ want [Bb] you to [Dm]
stop, _ _ _ _ [Bb] _
_ find out [Eb] what's wrong, _ _ _ _ _ _ get [Bb] it _ right, _ _ _ or leave [Eb] love _ _ alone. _ _ _
_ _ Because [C] the love _ _ _ you _ save _ [F] _
today _ _ _ may _ _ _ [Eb] very _ well _ _ _ _ be _ _ [Bb] your _ _ _ _ own.
[Bm] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ [Ab] _ _ _ [G] _ _
_ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
I've _ _ [Bbm] _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ been pushed around, _ _ oh, [Eb] yeah, and I've been lost and found.
_ _ _ _ [Bb] _
Given to _ sundown _ _ to [Eb] get out of _ town.
I've _ _ _ _ [Bb] been taken _ _ outside, _ _ _ oh, [Eb] and I've been _ _ brutalized. _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] I had to always _ be _ [Fm] the one to [Eb] smile and apologize. _ _ _ _
_ But I ain't [Bb]
never _ _ _ _ _ in my [Eb] life _ before _ _ _ _ seen so [Bb] many love _ _ affairs [Gm] go [Ab] wrong as [Eb] I do today. _ _ _ _
_ I want [Bb] you to stop, _ _ _ _ _ _ find out [Eb] what's wrong, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bb] get it _ _ _ _ right, _ or leave love alone.
_ [Eb] _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Because _ _ [C] the _ _ love _ you _ save _ [F] _ _
today _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] might [Eb] very _ _ well _ _ be _ [Bb] _ _ your _ _ _ _ own.
