[Verse 1]

          E          E             E         E
You had a reputation Talk can be so unkind
                     A      A                 E     E
You loved above your station It messed up your mind
          B              C     A           E       E
Take this information And quit while you're behind


[Verse 2]

                  E    E                E        E
Kicked out of his bed   Now you might go blind
            A    A                  E     E
His line is dead   And your face is lined
                B            C    A            E      E
You'll only get ahead If you quit while you're behind


[Chorus]

 A                A                 G   E     E
   You got to get out while you can and run
 A            A              B           C        A
   You got to pay the price, once you've had your fun

   Once you've had your fun yeah

[Verse 2]

              E          E                   E      E
You lost your inhibitions Now they're hard to find
                 A       A             E     E
You made the late editions In the daily grind
                 B            C    A           E       E
Forget your superstitions And quit while you're behind
