[Verse 1]
C9sus4                 D9sus4
       Turn on my VCR,      ...same one I've had for years,
Em11                                    Em11
       James Brown on the T.A.M.I. show, ...same tape I've had for years,
C9sus4                     D9sus4
       I sit in my old car,     ...same one I've had for years,
Em11                                       Em11
       This old battery's running down, it ran for years and years!


[Verse 2]
C9sus4                   D9sus4
       Turn on the radio,      ...the static hurts my ears,
Em11                                 Em11
       Tell me, where would I go?  I ain't been out in years,
C9sus4                    D9sus4
       Turn on the stereo,     ...it's played for years and years,
Em11                         Em11
       An Otis Redding song,     ...it's all I own!


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


[Verse 3]
C9sus4                   D9sus4
       Plug in my M.C.I.      ...to exercise my brain,
Em11                                 Em11
       Make records on my own, can't go out in the rain,
C9sus4                        D9sus4
       Pick up the telephone,     ...I've listened here for years,
Em11                                Em11
       No one to talk to me, I've listened here for years!


[Chorus]
         C9sus4           D9sus4
When the world is running down,
             Em11                          Em11
You make the best of what's still around,
         C9sus4               D9sus4
When the world is a - running down,
             Em11                          Em11
You make the best of what's still around!         Woh -oh!

Em11                                 Em11
       I run 'Deep throat' again, it ran for years and years,
C9sus4                            D9sus4
       Don't like the food I eat,      ...the cans are running out,
Em11                                    Em11
       Same food for years and years, I hate the food I eat!
