I know a guy that's got a lot to lose
[Bb] He's a pretty nice fella
Kinda confused, got [F] muscles in his head
Ain't never been used, thinks he owns half of [C] this town
[F] Starts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose
[Bb] Beats his old lady with it, rubber hose
And he [F] takes her out to dinner, buys her new clothes
[C] That's the way that the world [F] goes round
That's the way that the world goes round
[Bb] You're up one day, the next you're down
[F] It's a happenin' to water and you think you're gonna drown
That's the way that [C] the world [F] goes round

[F] I was sittin' in the bathtub
Countin' my [Bb] toes when the radiator broke
Water all [F] froze, I got stuck in the ice
Without my clothes, naked [D] as the eyes of [C] a clown
I was [F] cryin' ice cubes, open-eyed broke
And [Bb] when the sun come through the window
The ice all broke, [F] I stood up and laughed
Thought it was a joke
[C] That's the way that the [F] world goes round
That's the way that the world goes round
[Bb] You're up one day, the next you're down
[F] It's a happenin' to water and you think you're gonna drown
