C Em G C………….
Em D C D…………
[Verse]
G..When I get up she swears that she don’t hear it
Says that I’m as quiet as a mouse
I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
GAnd back out of the stillness of our house
GDishwater days
She says she doesn’t notice
Nothing’s changed but the sadness in her eyes
GMaybe it’s something that I could have prevented
Or maybe the whole **** dream was just a lie
[Chorus]
C EmOr maybe it’s the getting by
G CMaybe it’s the getting by
Em D CIt’d swallow up your every step
DBoy, if it could
C EmBut maybe it’s the stuff it takes
G CTo get up when the morning breaks
EmAnd hold on
CCan you hold on?
DCan you hold on?
Can you hold on
G C D G C DTill the getting’s good?……………..
[Verse]
CYa know I believe
GYa know I can’t deny it
D GBut people were told they’d prosper in this land
C GStill I know some who’ve never seen the ocean
D GOr set one foot on a velvet bed of sand
[Bridge]
G..They got their treasure laying way up high
But when I look up, all I see is sky
GCan you tell me
C D GCan you tell me why?
Can you tell me
C D EmCan you tell me why?
Can you tell me
C D GCan you tell me why?
GWhen I look up all I see is sky
GWhen I look up all I see is sky, sky
GWhen I look up all I see is sky, sky
EmMother can you tell me why, why
C D GWhen I look up, all I see is sky, sky?
When I look up, all I see
[Chorus]
C EmMaybe it’s the getting by
G CMaybe it’s the getting by
Em D CIt’d swallow up your every step
DBoy, if it could
You know it would
You know it
C EmBut maybe it’s the stuff it takes
G CTo get up when the morning breaks
EmAnd hold on
D CCan you hold on?….
DCan you hold on?
Can you hold on
CTill the gettin’s good?
[Instrumental]

GTill the gettin’s good?
