As recorded by Bachman-Tuner Overdrive (From the 1975 Album HEAD ON) [Verse 1]
N.C.              G5
The sun comes up, the sun goes down

D5             A5
But everything stays the same

                  G5                    D5
It's the same old movie or the same old song

         A5
Only the players change

                 G5
It's either 9 to 5 or work all night

D5   A5
Everybody's got to pay their dues

             G5
One half are wrong, one half are right

D5                 A5
Sometimes you win, and sometimes you lose

                  B5            D5           A5
Saying me, oh my, we all got to try to stay alive

              B5           D5           A5
And we'll get by if we all try to stay alive
[Verse 2]
N.C.             G5
There's problems here, there's problems there

D5        A5
We got confusion everywhere

                        G5                      D5
We're all working for a meal or to get a better deal

         A5
You only want what's fair

             G5
I'm stuck on stage, you're stuck at home

D5   A5
Everybody wants to trade places

           G5
So I'll be you and you be me

D5      A5
Nothing changes except the faces

                  B5            D5           A5
Saying me, oh my, we all got to try to stay alive

              B5           D5           A5
And we'll get by if we all try to stay alive
[Chorus]
      B5          D5          A5
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

      B5          D5          A5
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

We got to stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

       B5                D5
Me, oh my, we all got to try

                       A5
We got to try to stay alive

                                B5
We got to get by, we all got to try

              D5                   A5
We all got to try, we got to stay alive

                                 B5
We got to survive, saying me, oh my

              D5                  A5
We all got to try, to stay, stay alive

                                       B5
We all got to try, to get by and stay alive

Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

      D5          A5          B5
Stay alive, stay alive, stay alive

      D5          A5
Stay alive, stay alive

We got to survive, we all got to try

         A5                                      B5
To stay alive, alive, alive, we got to try to survive

              D5                    A5
We all got to try to get by, to get by and get by
