C    F    C    Am        
C    F    C    G     C

[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]
F    C    F    C    Am    
C    F    C    F    C

[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
