[Intro]
A A [Verse 1]
A When I get up,
Dsus2
she swears that
A
she don't hear it Dsus2 Says that I'm as
quiet as a mouse A I comb my hair and
Dsus2
throw some water
A
on my face Dsus2 And back out of the
A
stillness of our house E Lately, my patience
F#m Dsus2
is in short supply Nothing good seems
E
to ever come
F#m
from all this work Dsus2 A Asus2 No matter how hard I try [Verse 2]
A Dsus2 You know I believe in the Son,
A
I ain't no backslider Dsus2 But my people were told
they'd prosper
A
in this land Still, I know some
Dsus2 A
who've 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
A Asus2
I see is sky [Chorus]
F#m Maybe it's the getting
E
by that gets
Dsus2
right underneath you It'd swallow up your
E F#m
every step, boy
Dsus2
if it could But maybe it's the stuff
E
it takes to get up A Dsus2 In the mor---ning and
E F#m
put 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
Dsus2
to the torso of
E
God's mysterious ways [Chorus]
F#m Maybe it's the getting by that
E Dsus2
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
E F#m
put another day in, son A That keeps you standing
Dsus2 A
where you should E F#m So put another day in, son,
A
and hold on
Dsus2 A Dsus2
till the getting's good [Ending]
A Dsus2 A
