Chords

[Intro] Bb Eb Gm F [Verse]
Bb                Bbsus4
When I get up she swears that she don't hear it

Bb               Bbsus4
Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse

Bb                            Bbsus4      Bb
I comb my hair and throw some water on my face

                    Bbsus4
And back out of the stillness of our house
Bb Bbsus4 x2
Bb
Dishwater days

    Bbsus4
She says she doesn't notice

Bb                        Bbsus4
Nothing's changed but the sadness in her eyes

Bb                        Bbsus4
Maybe it's something that I could have prevented

   Bb
Or maybe the whole damn dream was just a lie
[Chorus]
   Gm                     F
Or maybe it's the getting by

Bb                     Eb
Maybe it's the getting by

     Ebsus2
It'd swallow up your every step

           F
Boy, if it could

    Gm                      F
But maybe it's the stuff it takes

   Bb                      Eb
To get up when the morning breaks

Ebsus2
And hold on

Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

F
Can you hold on

                   Bb    Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Till the getting's good?
[Verse]
   Eb
Ya know I believe

   Bb
Ya know I can't deny it

    F                       Bb
But people were told they'd prosper in this land

      Eb                 Bb
Still I know some who've never seen the ocean

   F
Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand

Bb             Bbsus4                 Bb
They got their treasure laying way up high

           Bbsus4                Bb
But when I look up, all I see is sky

                Bbsus4
Can you tell me

                Bb
Can you tell me why?

                Bbsus4
Can you tell me

                Bb
Can you tell me why?

                Bbsus4
Can you tell me

                Bb
Can you tell me why?
[Bridge]
N.C.                        Bb
When I look up all I see is sky

                            Bb
When I look up all I see is sky, sky

                            Bb
When I look up all I see is sky, sky

                       Gm
Mother can you tell me why, why

                             Bb
When I look up, all I see is sky, sky?

Bb
When I look up, all I see
[Chorus]
   Gm                     F
Or maybe it's the getting by

Bb                     Eb
Maybe it's the getting by

     Ebsus2
It'd swallow up your every step

           F
Boy, if it could

    Gm                      F
But maybe it's the stuff it takes

   Bb                      Eb
To get up when the morning breaks

Ebsus2
And hold on

Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

F
Can you hold on

                   Gm    Bb
Till the getting's good?
[Outro]
Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

Ebsus2
Can you hold on?

F
Can you hold on?

                   Bb    Bbsus4 Bb Bbsus4
Till the getting's good?

Bb
Can you hold on?

Bbsus4
Can you hold on?

Bb
Can you hold on?
