D F#m7 Bm G D A11/C# F#m7
Look at me, I'm the one who got away, the one who could've shone
G D A11/C# G
I tried to do my best, but I guess your best don't last for long
Gsus2 G Gsus2
D F#m7 Bm G D A11/C# F#m7
Look at me, standing with my tattered pride of toothless little lions
G D A11/C# G Gsus2 A
We try to make a difference, do something no-one else had tried
Bm G D A11/C# G
But if you see me walking and you're wondering why
F#7 Bm
Well it's just the business of life
Bm/A G Gsus2 A D A11/C#
If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
Bm G A A7 A6
D F#m7 Bm G D A11/C# F#m7
Look at me, is it written on my face, the luxuries I've known?
G D A11/C# G Gsus2 A
Am I a foreign presence, some place that used to be my home?
Bm G D A11/C# G
So if you see me walking, just a regular guy
F#7 Bm
Well it's just the business of life
Bm/A G Gsus2 A D A11/C#
If you're not getting lucky, you're just getting by
Bm
G6 C Bm
And in that weightlessness that comes with good luck
F#7 Em E Esus4
The one thing you don't expect is feeling the drop
D F#m7 Bm G D A11/C# F#m7
Look at me, I'm the one who got away, and then came crawling back
G D A11/C# G Gsus2 A
I try to do my best, but I guess I never had the knack
Bm G D A11/C# G
So if you see me walking and you're wondering why
F#7 Bm
Well it's just the business of life
Bm/A G Gsus2 A G Gsus2 A
If you're not getting lucky, if you're not getting lucky
D A11/C# Bm G A A7
You're just getting by, you're just getting by
A6 D A11/C# Bm
Just getting by
G A A7 A6
Just getting by.
