Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]You can give, you [C]can take
You can [G]give, you can [C]take[G]
Darling, [C]there was a time when [Em]I
just [G]lingered [Em]on[C][F#dim]
[G]Every day[C], hoping you would change
your way and be [G]mine at [C]long
[G]But you just don't [C]care,
even let me see you [D]with your other [G]man[C]
[F]Wit[G]hout a conscience or a pri[C]nciple,
without re[G]spect or [C]understanding
[G]But yet the [D]other night,
you acted [C]so surprised
[G]When you saw me with an[D]other girl,
you couldn't
[C]believe your eyes
[G]You started per[D]forming
as if [C]you loved me so
[G]When it was [D]only [G]your pride [C]I know
[Em]And now you've got the
[C]nerve to get mad with
Oh, my [Em]darling, face real[C]ity
[D]You can giv[G]e, but you can't tak[C]e
You can give, [G]but you can't [C]take
Well, I'm glad [G]you found [Bm]out
Like I [C]knew you would
That a [F]sip of your own medi[C]cine
It don't [G]taste so good
You can't you can't take
[C]Oh, I'm glad I'm headed for a d[G]ive
You can't [C]take
Oh, my [G]darlin', my darlin',
my darlin', my [C]darlin'
In spite of [D]all that [G]has gone [C]down
[D]Deep [G]down inside, I really,
I [C]really, I really love you
[D]No [G]sweeter love have I [C]found
Oh, [G]even though I love [C]you so
[G]There's only [D]so much that I can [C]stand
[G]If you don't want [D]to see
me [C]with another girl
[G]Then you better get rid
[D]of your other [C]man now
[Em]Now there's no question
[C]about where you stand
[Em]As long as you respect me as a[C] man
[D]Oh, you can giv[G]e, but you can't tak[C]e I know you can't giv[G]e,
but you can't [C]take
Well, I'm [Em]glad you found out[Bm],
like I [C]knew you would
That a [F]sip of your own medicine,
[C]it don't tas[G]te so good
Oh, oh, oh, right now
You can't [C]take
I said I'm glad you found [G]out
You can't [C]take
Well, I'm glad [Em]you found out
[Bm]Like I [C]knew you would
That a [F]sip of your own medicine
[C]It don't [G]taste so good
Oh, right now
Lordy, lordy, [C]mama now
Everything's gonna be [G]all right
[C]Mmm, you know, you know
Soon [G]one morning,
soon one [C]morning I know that things are gonna [G]get alright
All you gotta [C]do,
all you gotta do is lift your con[G]science
Baby, [C]baby,
baby lift your conscience up so [G]high[C]
Oh I love you, oh I [G]love you, oh I love you my darling,
[C]my darling, my darling
I [G]want you by my [C]side
you
