East October

  E
Looking backwards, all my pictures
             A              
Look like send-ups of stolen 
     E
scriptures
           E
We were children dressed up like men
           A                 E
Paintin' places we'd never been


[Chorus]
 A                      E
How am I ever gonna get by?
 A                      E      B 
How am I ever gonna get by all by
    A
 myself?


[Verse 2]
            E
Well, I'm trying to keep it simple

                  A            E
But ain't these gods so damn fickle?
                    E
You're stiff and strong, then you're
 scared and sober
           A              E
North Carolina in East October


[Chorus]
 A                      E
How am I ever gonna get by?
 A                      E      B 
How am I ever gonna get by all by
    A
 myself?
 A                     E
How am I ever gonna get by?
 A                      E      B 
How am I ever gonna get by all by
    A
 myself?


[Verse 3]
          E
Tell me when and where you learned 
it
                 A                 
You built your chapel and then you 
       E
burned it
         E
Was it Satan or the Second Coming?
                  A              
The soul you're bearing, the song 
             E
you're strumming


[Chorus]
  A                     E
How am I ever gonna get by?
  A                     E      B 
How am I ever gonna get by all by
    A
 myself?
  A                     E
How am I ever gonna get by?
  A                     E      B 
How am I ever gonna get by all by
    A
 myself?
