As recorded by Status Quo (From the 1994 Album THIRSTY WORK) [Intro] A [Chorus]
C                          C                         C
It's time to make it better, it's rude awakening time

                       C                           C
So write it in a letter and you can clear your mind

                      C                     C
You make me very happy, you make me very sad

                           C                    A#
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had

                           F                           C
It's time to make it better, but nothing lasts for ever

                        G
It's rude awakening time
[Verse 1]
       C          F                   C
So get moving and get yourself off my bed

                    F                   C
Well get moving and get yourself gone instead

          A#              F                   C
You been away so long you can't find your way home

                      F                           C
You've been using and wrapped yourself round your head

                 F                   C
You're confusing everything that you said

         A#             F              C
You been so far gone so gone so far so long

         A#              F              C
You been gone so long so gone so far so long
[Interlude] A [Chorus]
C                          C                         C
It's time to make it better, it's rude awakening time

                       C                           C
So write it in a letter and you can clear your mind

                      C                     C
You make me very happy, you make me very sad

                           C                    A#
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had

                           F                           C
It's time to make it better, but nothing lasts for ever

                        G
It's rude awakening time
[Verse 2]
         C         F                   C
And just maybe you oughta think twice ahead

            A#                    F                    C
It's been a long, long time since you've been close to home

You make me very happy, you make me very sad

                           C                    A#
It's time to make it better, the best I ever had

                           F                           C
It's time to make it better, but nothing lasts for ever

                        G
It's rude awakening time
[Verse 3]
            C           F                  C
You've been rollin' and rockin' it another way

                   F                C
You've been slowly giving up day by day

         A#             F              C
You been so far gone so gone so far so long

         A#              F              C
You been gone so long so gone so far so long
