[Intro]
A A
[Verse 1]
A Dsus2
When I get up, she swears
A
that she don't hear it
Dsus2
Says that I'm as quiet
as a mouse
A
I comb my hair and
Dsus2 A
throw some water on my face
Dsus2
And back out of the stillness
A
of our house
E
Lately, my patience is in
F#m Dsus2
short supply
E
Nothing good seems to ever
F#m
come from all this work
Dsus2 A Asus2
No matter how hard I try

[Verse 2]
A Dsus2
You know I believe in the Son, I
A
ain't no backslider
Dsus2
But my people were told
A
they'd prosper in this land
Still, I know some who've
Dsus2 A
never seen the ocean
Dsus2
Or set one foot on a
A
velvet bed of sand
E
But they've got their treasure
F#m Dsus2
laying way up high
E
Where there might be many mansions
F#m Dsus2
But when I look up, all I
A Asus2
see is sky
[Chorus]
F#m
Maybe it's the getting by
E Dsus2
that gets right underneath you
E
It'd swallow up your every
F#m Dsus2
step, boy, if it could
But maybe it's the stuff
E
it takes to get up
A Dsus2
In the mor---ning and put
E F#m
another day in, son
That holds you till the
E A E/G#
getting's good
[Bridge]
F#m E
Green ribbon front doors,
dishwater days
A
This whole town is tied to
Dsus2 E
the torso of God's mysterious ways

F#m
Maybe it's the getting by
E Dsus2
that gets right underneath you
E F#m
It'd swallow up your every step,
Dsus2
boy, if it could
But maybe it's the stuff
E
it takes to get up
A Dsus2
In the mor---ning and put
E F#m
another day in, son
A
That keeps you standing
Dsus2 A
where you should
E F#m
So put another day in, son, and
A Dsus2
hold on till the getting's
A Dsus2
good
[End]
