I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
Bb
He's a pretty nice fellow, kinda confused
F
Got muscles in his head, ain't never been used
C
Thinks he own half of this town
F
Starts drinking heavy, gets a big red nose
Bb
Beats his old lady with a rubber hose
F
Then he takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes
C F
That's the way that the world goes 'round

F
That's the way that the world goes 'round
Bb
You're up one day, the next you're down
F
It's half an inch of water and you think you're gonna drown
C
That's the way that the world goes 'round

F
I was sitting in the bathtub, counting my toes
Bb
When the radiator broke, water all froze
F
I got stuck in the ice without my clothes
C
Naked as the eyes of a clown
F
I was crying, "Ice cubes", hoping I'd croak
Bb
When the sun come through the window, the ice all broke
F
I stood up and laughed, thought it was a joke
C F
