🎸 Intro:

| A augmentedA | A augmentedA |


🎸 Verse 1:
   A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2        A augmentedA
When I get up, she swears that she don't hear it
 Dsus2Dsus2
Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse
  A augmentedA         Dsus2Dsus2        A augmentedA
I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
   Dsus2Dsus2              A augmentedA
And back out of the stillness of our house
      E MajorE        F# minorF#m   Dsus2Dsus2
Lately, my patience is in short supply
           E MajorE       F# minorF#m
Nothing good seems to ever come from all this work
  Dsus2Dsus2       A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2
No matter how hard I try

🎸 Verse 2:
   A augmentedA          Dsus2Dsus2        A augmentedA
You know I believe in the Son, I ain't no backslider
    Dsus2Dsus2                  A augmentedA
But my people were told they'd prosper in this land
              Dsus2Dsus2     A augmentedA
Still, I know some who've never seen the ocean
  Dsus2Dsus2              A augmentedA
Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand
            E MajorE       F# minorF#m  Dsus2Dsus2
But they've got their treasure laying way up high
       E MajorE
Where there might be many mansions
     F# minorF#m    Dsus2Dsus2     A augmentedA  Asus2Asus2
But when I look up, all I see is sky


🎸 Chorus:
        F# minorF#m       E MajorE        Dsus2Dsus2
Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
           E MajorE    F# minorF#m       Dsus2Dsus2
It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
                     E MajorE
But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
    A augmentedA   Dsus2Dsus2        E MajorE    F# minorF#m
In the mor---ning and put another day in, son
             E MajorE     A augmentedA  E/G#
That holds you till the getting's good

🎸 Bridge:
F# minorF#m            E MajorE
 Green ribbon front doors, dishwater days
A augmentedA                  Dsus2Dsus2           E MajorE
 This whole town is tied to the torso of God's mysterious ways


🎸 Chorus:
        F# minorF#m       E MajorE        Dsus2Dsus2
Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
           E MajorE    F# minorF#m       Dsus2Dsus2
It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
                     E MajorE
But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
    A augmentedA   Dsus2Dsus2        E MajorE    F# minorF#m
In the mor---ning and put another day in, son
   A augmentedA          Dsus2Dsus2   A augmentedA
That keeps you standing where you should
        E MajorE    F# minorF#m   A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2   A augmentedA  Dsus2Dsus2
So put another day in, son, and hold on till the getting's good


Ending:
| A augmentedA  Dsus2Dsus2 | A augmentedA |
