[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

[Chorus]
                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]
A    Dsus2  A
