The Killers - The Getting By: chords

     A               Dsus2                A
When I get up, she swears that she don't hear it
 Dsus2
Says that I'm as quiet as a mouse
   A                  Dsus2         A
I comb my hair and throw some water on my face
     Dsus2                            A
And back out of the stillness of our house
            E               F#m      Dsus2
Lately, my patience is in short supply
                      E              F#m
Nothing good seems to ever come from all this work
    Dsus2              A  Asus2
No matter how hard I try

You know I believe in the Son, I ain't no backslider
But my people were 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
But they've got their treasure laying way up high
Where there might be many mansions
But when I look up, all I see is sky

Chorus:
                F#m             E               Dsus2
Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
                     E       F#m             Dsus2
It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
                                         E
But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
        A  Dsus2                E       F#m
In the morning and put another day in, son
                         E         A   E/G#
That holds you till the getting's good

F#m                       E
 Green ribbon front doors, dishwater days
A                                    Dsus2                    E
 This whole town is tied to the torso of God's mysterious ways

Chorus:
Maybe it's the getting by that gets right underneath you
It'd swallow up your every step, boy, if it could
But maybe it's the stuff it takes to get up
In the morning and put another day in, son
That keeps you standing where you should
So put another day in, son, and hold on 'til the getting's good
