Tom: Bbm
G#
He's got a flat, it's just south of the river
G# F
A wipe clean kitchen, white as an American smile
C# G#
And wide as an American child
G#
Spends his weekends talking to his mother
G# F
About himself and how he's got nobody to talk to (Boohoo now)
C# G#
He's got nobody at all
[Chorus 1]
G# A#m C# G#
I guess he can't get along, get along, get along
Fm A#m7 C# G#
I guess he can't get along, get along
[Verse 2]
G#
He's got a flat, it's one foot on the ladder
G# F
A new build, red brick, fifty feet of communal grass
C# G#
And you can't put a price on that
G#
Loves culture, sees what he's able to
G# F
Spends his evenings playing House of Pain on his hands
C# G#
And praying there's no pain when he lands
[Chorus 2]
G# A#m C# G#
I guess he can't get along, get along, get along
Fm A#m7 C# G#
I guess he can't get along, get along
[Instrumental]
G# G# C# G#
[Middle 8]
Fm C#
It means nothing at all
Fm C#
Until the key's in the door
F#
And the deed's in his name
C#
And he's changing every lock in the place
Fm C#
And at the root of it all
Fm C#
Is his reluctance to fall
F#
And it's always the same
C#
Fifty minutes into work
[Verse 3]
G#
And he just keeps walking, one foot then the other
Fm
Beer or wine, I don't know why he bothers, it's all the same
C#
And there's not an easy laugh
G#
And he wants tennis courts, swimming pools, water's warm at the Cote d'Azur
F# C# G#
Well he dreams of yachts, well quite a lot, for him
[Chorus 3]
G# A#m C#
I guess he can't get along, get along
G# Fm
Two-up two-down, too busy to call
A#m7 C#
I guess he can't get along, get along
G# Fm
Well the smile above the Windsor seems wrong
A#m C# G# A#m
I guess he can't get along, get along, get along
