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 [C] owns half of this town
[F] Starts drinkin' heavy, gets a big red nose
[Bb] Beats his old lady with a rubber hose
Then [F] he takes her out to dinner
Buys her new [C] clothes
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

Countin' my [Bb] toes when the radiator broke
Water all froze, I [F] got stuck in the ice
Without my clothes
Naked as the [D] eyes [C] of a clown
I [F] was cryin', I asked you
Opened that throat and [Bb] when the sun come through
And the ice all broke, I [F] stood up and laughed
Thought it was a [C] joke
That's the way that the world [F] goes round
That's the way that the world goes [Bb] round
