Get your health together Get your wealth together 
D7Get yourGself together  CJones, you were my Anext door neighbour 
Mr. Brown, you're so ambitious You ran off with an Essex blond 
You've broke the bank to keep two women You're over extended, now it's all gone wrong 
Now you're right back where you started 
Still, you shouldn't be broken hearted 
Get your mind together We can still climb together 
A step at a time together  Brown, your world was turned upside down 
AI Gknow it's not the same     AAnd everything Gchanges A  
But behind front doors Gpeople think that they can hide 
   A(hold)          G6(hold)      F#m(hold)          Em(hold)            A  
We win and lose, we laugh and cry Live and learn, at least we try 
Oh, give it a Dtry Ba ba A/C#ba,   together BmBa ba Aba, together 
D7And we can go Gmiles together CAll of my Anext door neighbours 
Get your style together Put a smile together 
And we'll go miles together All of my next door neighbours 
Mr. Smith, another story I wonder what became of him? 
They say he threw the telly through the window 
He went bizerk and jacked the whole world in 
They say he may have hit rock bottom 
Still, he went out with a bang and so he is not forgotten 
We had our tiffs together Our rows and our rifts together  
But let's learn to forgive together 
 C(hold)                                 C(hold)
Smith, you were my next door neighbour   Jones, you were my next door neighbour
