[Verse One]
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
There’s this guy Ralph, he’s the one that lives next door always working not much around
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Got a wife and kids, I think he manages, a little bank branch in town
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Nice neighbours really,always time to stop and say hello.They never seem to want for much
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Comfortably off, if you know what I mean but through hard work and not the Midas touch
[Verse Two]
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Anyway, Monday or Tuesday I cant remember which, I hear this knocking at my door
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Standing there was Ralph looking pretty much worse for wear, never seen him like that before
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
I asked him in and said ’what’s the matter mate’. He said ‘I’m not working anymore’
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
They said sorry Ralph but you’re surplus to our needs and you’ve just turned 54
[Chorus]
A E D E A E D E
That’s just the way it is in this day and age. That’s the way it is today
A E D E A C#m D E
Have to find your own way through this crazy maze, that’s life what can anybody say

[Verse Three]
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
They said the internet was doing most of the work and talked about mergers that were on the cards
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
We’re cutting down on a lot of staff yes we are, like a fire sale in a used car yard
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
But we want you to know you’ve done a fantastic job and made a lot of profit for us
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
But the fact is Ralph we have to let you go, preferably with a minimum of fuss
[Verse Four]
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Don’t let them beat you don’t let them bring you down, you’re just a number to these corporations
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
Take a little package, take a little holiday, don’t waste your time with recriminations
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
We can help you others will do the same,before you know it you’re better off than before
A C#m Bm E A C#m D E
When one door closes, another door opens, no you’re not too old at 54
[Chorus]
A E D E A E D E
That’s just the way it is in this day and age. That’s the way it is today
A E D E A C#m D E
Have to find your own way through this crazy maze, that’s life what can anybody say
[Chorus]
A E D E A E D E
That’s just the way it is in this day and age. That’s the way it is today
