Verse:
                                  Bm
No one can hold the light to your misery
 D - C            G
You're the number one
Em         Bm    D -  C     G
Being hard done, hard done by
           Em           Bm         D - C
You'll get by with your smile, wicked smile
      G            Em             Bm
And laughing at the misfortune of others
     D - C         G                 Em
You gotta get your kicks kicking the pricks
Bm                  D - C
Laughing as they pick up sticks
G          Em           Bm
And old ladies walks on by
  D  -    C      Am
Trip up as they cry

Pre-Chorus
             D
With all the battering it's taken
Bm                       Em
I'm surprised it's still ticking
Am                 D

Let's get straight to the heart of matter

Why so glum? It's all on the platter

So what's the matter, what's the matter today?

I am no stranger to the cause

Please torch my flesh
               Bm           D  -      C   G
And leave gray holes in the meaning of my life
          Em        Bm
But I get by, I get by
           D    - C      G
Just this crooked little smile

You'll get by, you'll get by, you'll get by

Well I'm surprised that it's still ticking
Am                 D

I'm surprised that it's still ticking

But don't send it up in flames
          Em            Bm
It's only I who take the blame
    D   C     G
But try me anyway
               Em                 Bm
And you'll get by, and you'll get by

With your wicked little smile

And you'll get by, and you'll get by
          D   -  C
With your wicked little?
