Chords

[Intro] G [Verse 1]
G
Too old to not know where I'm going

C                               G
Too young to just lay down and die

      D
I'm stuck here in the middle

            C                                    G
Trying to solve this tricky riddle, Just getting by
[Chorus]
             Em            C                 G
Just getting by wandering down the same old road

           Em               C            G
Now I'm standing at these crossroads unsure which way to go

    Em            C                  G        Em
No matter how I choose, Lord, just know I'm trying

      C                                        G
Just wish I was getting more than just getting by
[Verse 2]
G
Rambling down this trail without a notion

       C                                G
as to what is waiting for me round the bend

     D                            C
The sun is slowing setting on my back

                                 G
Yet I'll keep stepping till the end
[Chorus]
             Em            C                 G
Just getting by wandering down the same old road

           Em               C           G
Now I'm standing at these crossroads unsure which way to go

    Em            C                  G        Em
No matter how I choose, Lord, just know I'm trying

      C                                        G
Just wish I was getting more than just getting by
[Bridge]
Em           D                  G
No one said this life would be easy

Em              D               C
Lessons rarely handed out for free

         Em        C            G
Working hard and loving those around you

           D                          C
Keep your head up and someday you'll see
[Verse 3]
         G
Finally seeing what was hid behind the curtain

          C                                G
Knowing which door to choose to find that prize

         D
At long last I'm finally seeing

      C                                       G
The reason that I'm breathing and I'm flying high
[Chorus]
            Em              C             G
I'm flying high a million miles off the ground

        Em             C              G
Not a single stone to trip me up, my head up in the clouds

Em                 C            G             Em
Looking down the ladder now at all the rungs below

      C                              G
Lord thank you for this tough row to hoe

     Em
So grateful for the journey

D                               C    G
And all the things that I now know
[Outro] G
