[Verse 1]
C F
Yesterday I went downtown and saw an old-time picture show
C Am
And the hero got a pie in the face
C F
He didn't like that and he stormed around the screen
C C7
But everybody else was laughin' in that place
[Chorus]
F C
That's cause it ain't hard to get along with somebody else's troubles
F C
And they don't make you lose any sleep at night
Am C
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else's bubbles
F C
Everything's gonna be alright
F C
And everything's gonna be alright
[Verse 2]
C F
Tell me, did you ever have to pay for something that you didn't do?
C Am
And did you ever figure out the reason why?
C F
And when the doctor says this is gonna hurt me a lot more than this hurts you
C C7
Did you ever figure out that that's a lie?
[Chorus]
F C
He knows it ain't too hard to get along with somebody else's troubles
F C
And they don't make you lose any sleep at night
Am C
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else's bubbles
F C
Everything is gonna be alright
F C
And everything will be alright
[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
C F
And I saw the boss come a-walkin' down along that factory line
C Am
He said, "We all have to tighten up our belts."
C F
But he didn't look any thinner than he did a year ago
C C7
And I wonder just how hungry that man felt
[Chorus]
F C
But he knows it ain't too hard to get along with somebody else's troubles
F C
And they don't make you lose any sleep at night
Am C
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody' else's bubbles
F C
Everything is gonna be alright
F C
And everything is gonna be alright
[Verse 4]
C F
And I asked that undertaker what it took to make him laugh
C Am
When all he ever saw is people cryin'
C F
First he hands me a bunch of flowers that he'd received on my behalf
C C7
Said, "Steve, business just gets better all the time."
[Outro]
F C
And it ain't too hard to get along with somebody else's troubles
F C
And they don't make you lose any sleep at night
Am C
Just as long as fate is out there bustin' somebody else's bubbles
F C
Everything is gonna be alright
F C
And everything is gonna be alright
