Get Along

capo: 1st fret

[verse (1)]

G
  he's got a flat, it's just south of the river
                                            E
A wipe clean kitchen, white as an american smile
    C
And wide as an american child

G
  spends his weekends talking to his mother
                                         E
About himself and how he's got nobody to talk to ( boohoo now )
C                    G
  he's got nobody at all

[chorus (1)]

G                     Am
I guess he can't get along
     C          G
Get along, get along
Em                       Am         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
                                               E
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
                                                 E
Spends his evenings playing house of pain on his hands
     C                              G
And praying there's no pain when he lands

[chorus (2)]

G                    Am
I guess he can't get along
     C          G
Get along, get along
Em                       Am         C    G
   i guess he can't get along, get along

[Middle (8)]

Em          C
   it means nothing at all
Em           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
Em            C
   and at the root of it all
Em          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
                                                Em
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                       Am         C
  i guess he can't get along, get along
    G                        Em
Two-up two-down, too busy to call
                      Am         C
I guess he can't get along, get along
         G                             Em
Well the smile above the windsor seems wrong
                      Am
I guess he can't get along
     C          G     Am
Get along, get along
