Just Getting By
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:Bb
Capo:5th fret
The C and C/G chords are played as Cadd9 with the E hammered on with the
middle finger immediately after.
Same for many of the Am7 chords, which are sometimes Am11 with the E hammered
on.
Same for the F chords, which are almost always Fsus2 with the A hammered on.
[Intro]
C/G F
[Verse 1]
C F
There were days, I swear there were, when the colors were a little brighter,
C F
Dodging cars on handlebars, and my heart couldn't've been lighter.
C F
And as the sun settled down, for a long nights rest,
C F
Streetlights came on and I tried to do my best
[Chorus]
C F
To get on home. To get on home.
Am7 G C
To get on home before my mother called my name.
F
[Verse 2]
C F
Now I cruise around my hometown, tryin to force a smile.
C
All the neighborhood kids are tryin' to make it on the skids, and they've been
F
gone for a long while.
C F
empty facto-ries, empty streets and empty sky.
C F
Truth is, we're doing our best to just get on by.
[Chorus]
C F
Just getting by. Just getting by.
C G Am7
Well there's something that we've lost along the way.
C F
Getting by. We're getting by.
C/G G C
There's something that we're losing every day.
F C F
[Verse 3]
C F
She had my heart right from the start, we drank and carried on.
C F
We sang and read in a broken bed and stayed up until the dawn.
C F
She'd send me with a song each night out on the road.
C F
She was stuck there in my head, jus-a calling me back home.
[Chorus]
C F
Now get on home. Get on home.
C/G G C
Get on home before your darlin' sails away.
F
oh wooh ooh
[Verse 4]
C F
So the days and nights keep sailing by, just like they like to do.
C F
She and I sang that lullaby til our children saw them true.
C F
Sometimes we sit together when all the house is dark,
C F
Dust off our favorite records, just-a searching for that spark.
[Chorus]
Am7 F
We're getting by. We're getting by.
C/G G Am7
Well there's something that we've lost along the way.
C F
Geting by. Getting byyy.
Am7 G C
Does the spirit of the past get cast away?
[Bridge]
oooOOOHH
G F
She said there's more to this, I know there is, I get a glimpse of it
C
sometimes.
G F
Baby when we're driving late at night, we got the windows open wide.
G F C
Baby when you hold me, ba-aby when you smile,
Am7 C/G F
We're not just getting by, for just a little while.
[Pre-Chorus]
C F Am7 G F
oh oo OO oh oo OO wa-oh ooo OoOo ooo
C F Am7 G F
oh oo OO oh oo OO wa-oh ooo OoOo ooo
[Outro Chorus]
Am7 C F
Just getting by. Just getting byyy.
Am7 F
Is there so-omething that we've lost along the way?
Am7 F
Just getting by. Getting by.
Am7 F
You know you can't go back the way you came.
Am7 G C
You've got to find your home along the way.
C F Am7 G C
[Outro woah-oohs]
C F Am7 G F
