G D
I look up and there you stand before me
G D
Looking so surprised at what you see
C D7
Did you really think I'd be the same without you
C D7
And stay the way that you remember me
C D7
I had reason for resisting all temptation
C D7
And the reason's standing right before me now...
G C D7
And I hope you take into consideration
C D7 G
That I'm getting by the best way I know how
[Verse]
D
All the empty bottles on the table
G D
And I seldom even shave or comb my hair
C D7
No I didn't drink so much that I'm not able
C D7
It's just that I'm not going anywhere
C D7
Seeing me like this I hope you won't feel guilty
C D7
And don't blame yourself for what I'm doing now...
G C D7
I'm just right back where I was before you met me
C D7 G
And I'm getting by the best way I know how
C D7 G
Yes I'm getting by the best way I know how
