Intro Gm7/C C6/D Em11 Em11 x 4

Gm7/C Turn on my V.C.R.
C6/D Same one I’ve had for years
Em11 James Brown on the Tami Show, same tape I’ve had for years

Gm7/C I sit in my old car
C6/D Same one I’ve had for years
Em11 Old battery’s running down, it ran for years and years

Gm7/C Turn on the radio
C6/D The static hurts my ears
Em11 Tell me where would I go, I ain’t been out in years

Gm7/C Turn on the stereo
C6/D It’s played for years and years
Em11 An Otis Redding song it’s all I own

When the Gm7/C world is running C6/D down
You make the Em11 best of what’s still around Em11
When the Gm7/C world is running C6/D down
You make the Em11 best of what’s still around Em11

Gm7/C Plug in my M.C.I
C6/D To exercise my brain
Em11 Make records on my own, can’t go out in the rain

Gm7/C Pick up the telephone
C6/D I’ve listened here for years
Em11 No one to talk to me, I’ve listened here for years

When the Gm7/C world is running C6/D down
You make the Em11 best of what’s still around Em11
When the Gm7/C world is running C6/D down
You make the Em11 best of what’s still around Em11

Gm7/C When I feel lonely here
C6/D Don’t waste my time with tears

Gm7/C Don’t like the food I eat
C6/D The cans are running out
Em11 Same food for years and years, I hate the food I eat
