The Getting By V

[Verse 1] When I get up she swears that she don't hear it Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse I comb my hair, throw some water on my face And back out of the stillness of our house [Pre-Chorus] Lately my patience is in short supply Nothing good seems to ever come No matter how hard I try [Chorus] Maybe it's the getting by Maybe it's the getting by It'd swallow up your every step Boy, if it could Maybe it's the stuff it takes To get up when the morning breaks That holds you till the getting's good [Post-Chorus] Na, na na, na na, na na na Na, na na, na na [Verse 2] You know I believe in thе Son, I ain't no backslider My people wеre told they'd prosper in this land Still I know some who've never seen the ocean Or set one foot on a velvet bed of sand [Pre-Chorus] They've got their treasure laying way up high But when I look up all I see is sky [Chorus] Maybe it's the getting by Maybe it's the getting by It'd swallow up your every step Boy, if it could But maybe it's the stuff it takes To get up when the morning breaks And hold you till the getting's good [Outro] Na, na na, na na, na na na Na, na na, na na Na, na na, na na, na na na Na, na na, na na Na, na na, na na, na na na Na, na na, na na
