Baxter in Wilder's 'Apartment', That particular arrangement just came out of the blue And who was it who sang 'I know that you love one So why can't you love two?' I was in full-time education when I got scared of the future And I've only got a job so I don't disappoint my mother It's like I've painted myself into a social corner Well, that's what happens when you listen to G Ab A Saint Scott Walker G A On headphones G Ab A On the bus. What about us? What about us? My friends come round and they ask me 'What about us?' My friends come round and they ask me 'What about us?' You know that I, I don't kid myself about happy endings I'm too old for all that now And you don't have to worry that much about the future And it's not as if you ever did before A Because you'll always have everything just as you want it And there'll always be a phone to ring at three in the morning And you'll always have someone who'll drive you home A Yes, you'll always have someone, someone to drive you home. A Someone to drive you home. CHORUS A Am Just when you're ready to take on the world A D C B Some other girl had to get there first A Am And it's obvious that you're a man that's after her own heart A But you know where I am D C B A And you know what I want A Am And I know I'll never have you completely alone A D C B So I'm trying to draw up a contingency plan A Am And it's obvious that you're a man that's after her own heart A But you know where I am D C B A And you know that you could have both Am - A - D C B A You could have both Am - A - D C B A You could have both.
