We get high in back seats of cars
We break into mobile homes
We go to sleep to shake appeal
Never wake up on our own


Chorus:
  A                       G
And that's the way we get by
               F            A   
The Way we get by.    And that's 
               G                   F
the way we get by, the Way we get by


Intro Riff 1x


Verse 2: (now with chords)
A                     Am
We go out in stormy weather
  A                   Am
We rarely practice discern
  A                       Am
We make love to some weird sin
  A                Am
We seek out the taciturn


Chorus: (2 times)
  A                       G
And that's the way we get by
               F            A   
The Way we get by.    And that's 
               G                   F
the way we get by, the Way we get by


Chorus2: (with intro Riff 1x)
And that’s the way we get by
That’s the way we get by


Verse 2:
  A                               Am
We found a new kind of dance in a magazine
  A                                  Am
Tried it out it's like nothing you ever seen
  A                                    Am
You sweet talk like a cop and you know it
  A
You bought a new bag of pot, said let's make a new start


Chorus:
  A                        G
And that's the way to my heart
                F
The way to my heart
 A                    G
That's the way we get by
               F
The Way we get by

  A                       G
And that's the way we get by
               F            A   
The Way we get by.    And that's 
               G                   F
the way we get by, the Way we get by


Chorus2: (with intro Riff 1x)
And that’s the way we get by
That’s the way we get by


Piano Solo (can’t figure it out yet…)


Verse 3: (again with Intro Riff)
We get high in back seats of cars
We put faith in our concerns
Fall in love to down on the street
We believe in the sum of ourselves


Chorus: (2 times)
  A                       G
And that's the way we get by
               F            A   
The Way we get by.    And that's 
               G                   F
the way we get by, the Way we get by


Chorus2: (with intro Riff 1x)
And that’s the way we get by
That’s the way we get by
