Get It Right Next Time
Gerry Rafferty
GOut on the street I was Ctalkin' to a Gman
GHe said "there's Cso much of this lFife of mine that BbI don't undeGrstand"F  G  
GYou shouldn't worry I said that Cain't no cGrime
GCause if Cyou get it wronFg you'll get it Bbright next tGime, nFext Gtime.
You need direction, yeah you need a name
When you're standing in the crossroads every highway looks the same
After a while you can recognize the signs
So if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
Life is a liar yeah life is a cheat
It'll lead you on and pull the ground from underneath your feet
No use complainin', don't you worry, don't you whine
Cause if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
You gotta grow, you gotta learn by your mistakes
You gotta die a little everyday just to try to stay awake
When you believe there's no mountain you can climb
And if you get it wrong you'll get it right next time, next time.
Next time, u-hum
