♫ Intro:

C majorC E minorEm G+G C majorC
E minorEm D MajorD C majorC D MajorD


♫ Verse :
G+G
 When I get up she swears that she don’t hear it

Says that I’m as quiet as a mouse

I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
                    G+G
And back out of the stillness of our house
G+G
Dishwater days

She says she doesn’t notice

Nothing’s changed but the sadness in her eyes
G+G
Maybe it’s something that I could have prevented

Or maybe the whole **** dream was just a lie

♫ Chorus:
   C majorC          E minorEm
Or maybe it’s the getting by
 G+G           C majorC
Maybe it’s the getting by
    E minorEm     D MajorD     C majorC
It’d swallow up your every step
       D MajorD
Boy, if it could
   C majorC            E minorEm
But maybe it’s the stuff it takes
  G+G             C majorC
To get up when the morning breaks
     E minorEm
And hold on
       C majorC
Can you hold on?
       D MajorD
Can you hold on?

Can you hold on
           G+G  C majorC D MajorD  G+G  C majorC D MajorD
Till the getting’s good?

♫ Verse :
C majorC
Ya know I believe
  G+G
Ya know I can’t deny it
   D MajorD            G+G
But people were told they’d prosper in this land
   C majorC          G+G
Still I know some who’ve never seen the ocean
  D MajorD                G+G
Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand

♫ Bridge:
G+G
 They got their treasure laying way up high

But when I look up, all I see is sky
 G+G
Can you tell me
 C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me
C majorC     D MajorD   E minorEm
Can you tell me why?

Can you tell me
C majorC    D MajorD    G+G
Can you tell me why?
               G+G
When I look up all I see is sky
               G+G
When I look up all I see is sky, sky
               G+G
When I look up all I see is sky, sky
            E minorEm
Mother can you tell me why, why
     C majorC       D MajorD      G+G
When I look up, all I see is sky, sky?

When I look up, all I see

It’d swallow up your every step

Boy, if it could
You know it would

You know it
   C majorC            E minorEm
But maybe it’s the stuff it takes
  G+G            C majorC
To get up when the morning breaks
    E minorEm
And hold on
     D MajorD    C majorC
