[Verse 1]
C FMaj7 C
I know a guy that's got a lot to lose.
F Fadd2 F
He's a pretty nice fellow but he's kind of confused.
C FMaj7 C
He's got muscles in his head that ain't never been used.
G
Thinks he own half of this town.
C FMaj7 C
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose.
F
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose,
C
then he takes her out to dinner and buys her new clothes.
G C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.
[Chorus]
C FMaj7 C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.
F Fadd2 F
You're up one day and the next you're down.
C FMaj7 C
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown.
G C
That's the way that the world goes 'round.

C FMaj7 C
I was sitting in the bathtub counting my toes,
F Fadd2 F
when the radiator broke, water all froze.
