Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do)
Tuning: Standard

Intro:                      

Verse:
                           
Once in your life you will find her 
                       
Someone who turns your heart around 
     
And next thing you know 
               
You're closing down the town 
                       
Wake up and it's still with you 
                         
Even though you left her way across town
                
Wonderin' to yourself 
      
Hey, what have I found 


Chorus:

When you get caught 
                                
Between the moon and New York City 
             
I know it's crazy 
          
But it's true 

If you get caught 
                                
Between the moon and New York City 

The best that you can do 

The best that you can do 
            
Is fall in love 


Verse 2:
                       
Arthur, he does as he pleases
                     
All of his life his master's toys 
                          
And deep in his heart he's just 

He's just a boy 
                             
Living his life one day at a time 
                        
He's showing himself a pretty good time
                       
He's laughing about the way 
      
They want him to be


Chorus:

When you get caught 
                                
Between the moon and New York City 
             
I know it's crazy 
          
But it's true 

If you get caught 
                                
Between the moon and New York City 

The best that you can do 

The best that you can do 
            
Is fall in love
