Verse 1:
 E MajorE
Looking backwards, all my pictures
       A augmentedA          E MajorE
Look like send-ups of stolen scriptures
      E MajorE
We were children dressed up like men
      A augmentedA         E MajorE
Paintin' places we'd never been


Chorus:
 A augmentedA           E MajorE
How am I ever gonna get by?
 A augmentedA           E MajorE   BB   A augmentedA
How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?

Verse 2:
      E MajorE
Well, I'm trying to keep it simple
         A augmentedA      E MajorE
But ain't these gods so damn fickle?
          E MajorE
You're stiff and strong, then you're scared and sober
      A augmentedA       E MajorE
North Carolina in East October

     E MajorE
Tell me when and where you learned it
         A augmentedA            E MajorE
You built your chapel and then you burned it
     E MajorE
Was it Satan or the Second Coming?
         A augmentedA              E MajorE
The soul you're bearing, the song you're strumming

How am I ever gonna get by all by myself?
