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

When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around

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

[Chorus 2]
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around

[C]When I feel lonely here
[D]Don't waste my time with tears
[Em]I run "Deep Throat" again
It ran for years and years
[C]Don't like the food I eat
[D]The cans are running out
[Em]Same food for years and years
I hate the food I eat

[Chorus 3]
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
[C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
When the [C]world is running [D]down
You make the [Em]best of what's still around
