Well I hear you've got problems
Just like everybody else
Seems like you're building mountains
And always making the little things swell

Now did you ever think there could be a better way
Or maybe it's time for you to make a charge
Strip it all back look in each direction
Loose the bags, it may just take you to an easier place

Well now you couldn’t be more different
To a very good friend of mine
Always telling me you've got to take the rough
With the smooth and never failing to remind me of this

Whenever, whenever, I'm down
You got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah you got to take the rough with the smooth
Oh you got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah you've got to take the rough with the smooth
Rough with the smooth
You got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah hey hey hey
With the smooth

Well I hear you've got problems
Just like everybody else
Seems like you're building mountains
And always making the little things swell

Well you couldn’t be more different
To a very good friend of mine
Always telling me you've got to take the rough
With the smooth and never failing to remind me of this

Whenever, whenever, I'm down
You got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah you got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah you got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah you've got to take the rough with the smooth
Rough with the smooth
You got to take the rough with the smooth
Yeah hey hey hey

You got to take the rough with the smooth
You got to take the rough with the smooth
You got to take the rough with the smooth
You got to take the rough
