[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
