Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse1

Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone

I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long

Verse2

Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions

We try to make a difference, do something no-one else had tried

Chorus

But if you see me walking and you're wondering why

Well it's just the business of life

If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by

Verse3

Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known?

Am I a foreign presence, some place that used to be my home?

Chorus

So if you see me walking, just a regular guy

Well it's just the business of life

If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by

Bridge

And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck

The one thing you don't expect is feeling the drop

Verse4

Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back

I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack

Chorus

So if you see me walking and you're wondering why

Well it's just the business of life

If you're not getting lucky, if you're not getting lucky

You're just getting by, you're just getting by

Just getting by

Just getting by.
