[F] [F7] [Bb] [F] [C] [C7] [F]
[F] Well, I know a guy who's got a lot to lose,
he's a [Bb] pretty nice fella, kinda confused,
He's got [F] muscles in his head, never been used,
thinks he owns half of this [C] town. [C7]
[F] Starts drinkin' heavy, got a big red nose,
[Bb] beats his old lady with a rubber hose,
Then he [F] takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes,
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] round
[F] That's the way the world goes [F7] round,
you're [Bb] up one day, the next you're down,
It's [F] half an inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] round.
[F] Sittin' in my bathtub, countin' my [F7] toes
when the [Bb] radiator broke, the water all froze
I got [F] stuck in the ice without my clothes
naked as the eyes of a [C] clown. [C7]
I was [F] cryin' ice cubes, hopin' I'd croak,
when the [Bb] sun came through the window, the ice all broke,
[F] I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke,
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] 'round.
[F] That's the way the world goes [F7] round,
you're [Bb] up one day, the next you're down,
It's [F] half an inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] round.
[F] [F7] [Bb] [F] [C] [C7] [F] [F7] [Bb] [F] [C7] [F]
[F] That's the way the world goes [F7] round,
you're [Bb] up one day, the next you're down,
It's [F] half an inch of water, but you think you're gonna drown
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] round.
that's the way the [C7] world goes [F] 'round.
that's the way the [C7] world goes ... [F] 'round.
[F] [F7] [Bb] [F] [C7] [F]
