[Verse 1]
         E                      G#7              C#m      E7
 Well he caressed her breast she hie di died his thigh
         A                                  B                    E
 And the pill lit on the pillow amongst the wine bottles and the cheese
        E                         G#7            C#m     E7
 Took a Polaroid picture that was naughty and it slipped yes it did
     A                                  B                     E
 And just when they thought it couldn't get no better then it did


[Chorus]
 E                            G#7                   C#m     E7
 Just when you think it can't get no better then it does
      A              B                   E
 It's always so much better than it ever was
 E                   G#7                C#m       E7
 Seems like all the good things come at once,     yes they do
     A                            B                     E
 And just when you think it can't get no better then it does


[Verse 2]
           E                               G#7                 C#m      E7
 Well they knew what they liked they ain't neither one of them naive
               A                                B            E
 She said I'll probably get in trouble but this time I don't care
         E                        G#7                C#m       E7
 Well I should go to work but I'd rather be with you instead
     A                                  B                     E
 And just when they thought it couldn't get no better then it did
 

[Chorus]
 E                            G#7                   C#m    E7
 Just when you think it can't get no better then it does
      A              B                   E
 It's always so much better than it ever was
 E                   G#7                C#m       E7
 Seems like all the good things come at once,     yes they do
     A                            B                     E
 And just when you think it can't get no better then it does

 She taught school and he played the five string banjo
           A                   B                        E
 She lived here in town and he traveled the whole world wide
          E                                              G#7              C#m     E7
 Well she packed the lunch brought the wine he drove the car and scored a lid
     A                                  B                     E

[Verse 4]
          E                 G#7             C#m      E7
 It was a perfect day for a dalliance and a picnic
       A                B                  E
 And a riverbank was an excellent place to love
          E                         G#7                  C#m        E7
 Well the sun was a shining and the birds were a singing overhead  (whistles)
     A                                  B                     E
 And just when they thought it couldn't get no better then it did

 E                   G#7                C#m       E7
 Seems like all the good things come at once,     yes they do
     A                            B                     E
 And just when you think it can't get no better then it does
