[Intro]
| C9sus4 | D9sus4 | Em11 | - |
| C9sus4 | D9sus4 | Em11 | - |
| C9sus4 | D9sus4 | Em11 | - |
| C9sus4 | D9sus4 | Em11 | - |

[Verse 1]
C9sus4
      Turn on my V.C.R
D9sus4
      Same one I've had for years
Em11
    James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show
Same tape I've had for years
C9sus4
      I sit in my old car
D9sus4
      Same one I've had for years
Em11
    Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years
C9sus4
      Turn on the radio,
D9sus4
      the static hurts my ears
Em11
    Tell me, where would I go?
I ain't been out in years
C9sus4
      Turn on the stereo
D9sus4
      It's played for years and years
Em11
    An Otis Redding song, it's all I own

[Chorus]
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around

[Verse 2]
C9sus4
      Plug in my M.C.I
D9sus4
      To exercise my brain
Em11
    Make records on my own
Can't go out in the rain
C9sus4
      Pick up the telephone
D9sus4
      I've listened here for years
Em11
    No one to talk to me
I've listened here for years

[Chorus]
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
Oh

[Verse 3]
C9sus4
      When I feel lonely here
D9sus4
      Don't waste my time with tears
Em11
    I run Deep Throat again
It ran for years and years
C9sus4
      Don't like the food I eat
D9sus4
      The cans are running out
Em11
    Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat

[Chorus]
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is running down
             Em11
You make the best of what's still around
Yeah

C9sus4

D9sus4

Same tape I've had for years
C9sus4
      I sit in my old car
D9sus4
      Same one I've had for years
Em11
    Old battery's running down
It ran for years and years
