Biography:
Gerald "Gerry" Rafferty (16 April 1947 – 4 January 2011) was a Scottish singer-songwriter. In his early years, Rafferty earned money by the formerly illegal practice of busking on the London Underground. Poetically, his biggest hit, 1978's "Baker Street", discusses busking at a tube station and being a part of the street life. After working with Billy Connolly (now better known as a comedian) in an obscure outfit known as The Humblebums, he released his first solo album, called 'Can I Have My Money Back', in 1971.

D Em C G |2x
[Verse]
G D Em
Is this a state that you can't control
C G
Or don't you care who you're talking to
D Em
Each time when things get out of hand
C G
Why it's the same thing you always do
D Em
You start to point out other people's mistakes
C G
Sometimes you even show contempt
D Em
How come the way you exclude yourself
C G
Can't you see that you're not exempt?
[Chorus]
C G D G
Wrong thinking gets the better of you
C G D G
It only takes a moment or two
C G D G
Comes stealin' like a thief in the night
C G D G
Changes every little thing in sight
C G D G
Wrong thinking gets the better of you.
D Em C G |2x
[Verse]
G D Em
Well it's the same old thing that happens
C G
Every time you react that way
D Em
Tomorrow you'll want to forget
C G
Everything you said today
D Em
But everytime something reminds you
C G
You play the same old game inside
D Em
Any excuse in the book will do
C G
Everything can be justified.
[Chorus]
C G D G
Wrong thinking gets the better of you
C G D G
It only takes a moment or two
C G D G
Comes stealin' like a thief in the night
C G D G
Changes every little thing in sight
C G D G
Wrong thinking gets the better of you.
D Em C G
Better of you. Gets the better of you.
