Biography:
Bonnie Raitt, (born November 8, 1949) is an American blues and R&B singer, songwriter, and guitarist who was born in Burbank, California, the daughter of Broadway musical star John Raitt.
Raitt began playing guitar at an early age, something not a lot of her high school girlfriends did. "I had played a little at school and at camp," she later recalled in a July 2002 interview. "My parents would drag me out to perform for my family, like all parents do, but it was a hobby—nothing more.

The love you don't feel when you're holding me

Morning will come and I'll do what's right

Listen to the song to get the timing of the chords.
The end of the song is basically oohs along with the chords used for the verses.
Every other line at the end alternates between the C and the Am7 as the last chord of the phrase.
The final chord is an Fmaj9 which is a very dissonant chord.
That is how it is played in the song.
