Getting by

Getting by, on adrenaline and caffeine.

Getting by, the ways and means.

Getting by, waiting for the sunshine.

Getting by, even though the gettin's lean.

CHORUS

            I don't know, where I'm getting to. But I'm getting there somehow.

            I don't know if I'm getting through, but I'm getting it now.

            And I don't know what I'm getting into, but I know I gotta try.

            And I don't know if I'm gonna win, but I know I'll just keep...

            .........getting by.

Getting by, strumming in the midnight.

Getting by, dreaming in the daylight.

Getting by, drumming in my mind.

Getting by, with notes to remind.

Getting by, on what you leave out.

Getting by, doubting the doubts.

Getting by, and not turning back.

Getting by, finding things I lack.

CHORUS
