 THING CALLED LOVE- Bonnie Raitt
 A
 Don't have to humble yourself to me, I ain't your judge or your king 
 C    G                              A
 Baby, you know I ain't no Queen of Sheba
 A
 We may not even have our dignity, this could be just a powerful thing
 C             G                          A        
 Baby we can choose you know we ain't no amoeba
 
 CHORUS:
 F                      Bb            C
 Are you ready for the thing called love
 F                              Bb            C
 Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
 F                     Bb            C
 I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
 F                     D             A
 Are you ready for the thing called love
 
 I ain't some icon carved out of soap
 Sent here to clean up your reputation
 Baby, you know you ain't no Prince Charming
 We can live in fear or act out of hope
 For some kind of peaceful situation
 Baby, how come the cry of love is so alarming ...CHORUS
 
 BRIDGE:
 A C  A C  A      C
          Ugly ducklings don't turn into swans
 A    C
 And glide off down the lake
  A                C
 Whether your sunglasses are off or on
 F                  D        A
 You only see the world you make
 
 CHORUS OUTRO:
 Are you ready for the thing called love
 Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
 I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
 F                 Bb  C
 Are you ready for it
 Are you ready for the thing called love
 Don't come from me and you, it comes from up above
 I ain't no porcupine, take off your kid gloves
 F                  Bb   C
 Are you ready for it
 F                  Bb    C
 Are you ready for love, baby
 F    Bb    C
     Oooh yeah babe
 F                   Bb    C   F  D  A  
 Are you ready for love

 directory and just changed it a bit to fit with the Raitt version.
