B               F#  B E                   A   E
Must be getting early, clocks are running late,
F#                      B    E
Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony.
B                F#   B      E               A        E
Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle,curse the glare,
F#                         B          E
Draw the curtains, I don't care, 'cause it's alright.

F# B        E
I  will get by,
F# B        E

I will survive.

B                     F#  B     E                   A   E
I see you've got your fist out, say your piece and get out,
F#                    B   E
Yes I get the gist of it, but it's all right.
B                    F#  B    E                A        E
Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing I meant to say,
F#                    B     E
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey.

F# B        E
I  will get by,

C#m    C#7       F#
It's a lesson to me,
    C#m           C#7             F#
the Ables and the Bakers and the C's
G#m   D#7  C#           F#     B          E             F#
The ABC's    we all must face, and try to keep a little grace

C#m    C#7       F#
It's a lesson to me
    C#m           C#7             F#
the deltas and the east and the freeze
G#m   D#7  C#           F#     B          E            F#
The ABCs, we all think of, and try to give a little love

B               F#  B         E                     A      E
I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years,
F#                         B    E
It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right.
B                F#   B      E               A        E
The cow is giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen,
F#                         B          E
The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right.

F# B        E
I  will get by,
F# B        E

F# B        A E F#

B                  F#      B     E                       A      E
The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it
F#                             B    E
Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause, it's all right.
B                F#   B      E               A    E
Oh, well, a Touch of Grey, kind of suits you anyway
F#                    B    E
That was all I had to say, it's all right.

F# B        E
I  will get by,

We  will get by,
F# B        E
