Anthony John Clarke - As Good As It Gets
Capo 2
[Verse 1]
C G/B
Bob walked into a bar
Am C
He has a lady on his arm
F G C
But the lady always looks the other way
G/B
Strolling in the park
Am C
It's getting cold, it's pretty dark
F G C
He'll try and hold her, but she always moves away
[Verse 2]
F D
And that day out at the races didn't go quite as he planned
C G/B Am
He spent most of it alone in a quiet little corner of the stand
D7 G7
And he didn't even get to place his bet
F G C
Inertia, as good as it gets
[Verse 3]
G/B
Alan was a fool
Am C
And yet so popular at school
F G C
Affectionately known by all the girls as hot
G/B
The first to get a car
Am C
The first to get served in a bar
F G C
And you never saw a soup stain or a spot
[Verse 4]
F D
But when the stomach began to show and the hair began to go
C G/B Am
She up and left him, up to his neck in dept
D7 G7
Like a song sung by Tammy Wynette
F G C
Inertia, as good as it gets
[Chorus]
F G C
'Cause you put up with my music, my motorbike
F G C
You put up with my old friend and my best friend's wife
F G Am
You put up with the radio I keep on all night
D7 G7
You even put up with The Rolling Stones
C F G C
My taxes and my tantrums, my dull routine
F G C
Pounds and five pound notes that I leave in my jeans
F G Am D7
And I may look sixty when I act sixteen
G7
Maybe it's The Rolling Stones
[Instrumental]
C G/B Am C F C G F Em F
[Verse 5]
C G/B
Joe works with lots of girls
Am C F
Who all just think the world revolves around them
G
They expect such large Martinis and tickets for the show
C G/B
But when Joe is feeling down
Am C
It's so unusual that they come around
F G F
Still he makes such kind excuses for them, says, "That's how it goes"
[Verse 6]
D
Even though on his wedding day, his bride did not have much to say
C G/B Am
The whole day, an outrageous tale of woe
D7 G7
And she left Joe, took his two dogs and his cat
F G C
Inertia, you'd never do that
[Chorus]
F G C
'Cause you put up with my tantrums, my dull routine
F G C
The coins and five pound notes that I leave in my jeans
F G Am D7
And I may look sixty, though I act sixteen
G7 F G C
Blame it on The Rolling Stones
