VERSE 1
I retire to bed early most nights
You follow me in or you don't
And either way, it's alright

You've been going with her now for seventeen weeks
But that doesn't make a blind bit of difference to me

CHORUS
Just when you're [A]ready to take on the [Am]world
Some other [A]girl had to get there [D]first[C] [B]
And it's [A]obvious that you're a man that's [Am]after her own heart
But [A]you know where I am
And [D]you know that you [C]could [B]have [A]both

Well, that was a crash course for me

A few degrees of separation can't be that bad
CHORUS
Just when you're [A]ready to take on the [Am]world
Some other [A]girl had to get there [D]first[C] [B]
And it's [A]obvious that you're a man that's [Am]after her own heart
But [A]you know where I am
And [D]you know that you [C]could [B]have [A]both
I wanted the [Am]world
Some other [A]girl had to get there [D]first[C] [B]
And it's [A]obvious that you're a man that's [Am]after her own heart
But [A]you know where I am so [D]stop
[A]
"I feel like C.C. Baxter in Wilder's 'Apartment',
That particular arrangement just came out of the blue
And who was it who sang 'I know that you love one
So why can't you love two?'
I was in full-time education when I got scared of the future
And I've only got a job so I don't disappoint my mother
It's like I've painted myself into a social corner
Well, that's what happens when you listen to
[G]Saint S[Ab]cott Wa[A]lker
[G]On h[A]eadphones
[G]On[Ab] th[A]e bus.
What about us? What about us?
My friends come round and they ask me 'What about us?'
My friends come round and they ask me 'What about us?'
You know that I, I don't kid myself about happy endings
I'm too old for all that now
And you don't have to worry that much about the future
And it's not as if you ever did before
Because you'll [A]always have everything just as you want it
And there'll always be a phone to ring at three in the morning
And you'll always have someone who'll drive you home
Yes, you'll always have someone, someone to drive you [A]home.
Someone to drive you [A]home.
CHORUS
Just when you're [A]ready to take on the [Am]world
Some other [A]girl had to get there [D]first[C] [B]
And it's [A]obvious that you're a man that's [Am]after her own heart
But [A]you know where I am
And [D]you know what I [C]want[B] [A]
And I [A]know I'll never have you com[Am]pletely alone
So I'm [A]trying to draw up a con[D]tingency [C]pl[B]an
And it's [A]obvious that you're a man that's [Am]after her own heart
But [A]you know where I am
And [D]you know that you [C]could [B]have [A]both
[Am] [-] [A] [-] [D]
You [C]could [B]have [A]both
[Am] [-] [A] [-] [D]
You [C]could [B]have [A]both.
