Getting Somewhere

C                            Csus
My father, he’s a good man.  Took a while to understand.
C                                        Csus
We all do the best we can, with what we
C                                   Csus
He might have had too much to drink.  I can hear the ice cubes clinking.
C                                              Csus
In the kitchen, while he’s smoking through the window fan.
Dm                                Em                            Am
But I never wanted for a word and swallowed everything I heard.
                         G                          F
And I hold it like its gold and hear it all again.


[Chorus]
C                              Csus           C                                   Csus
Keep your hands on the 10 and the 2.  Keep your eye on the ball and follow through.
Dm                     Em                                            Am       G      F
When you fall, get up.  There’s no such thing as luck.  And though I pray you never do…
       Dm         Em                F
If you get a little lost just say a prayer.
                                                     C    Csus
And don’t spend your whole life getting somewhere.



[Verse 2]
C                                Csus
Some people have a hole to fill.  They try and try but never will.
C                                              Csus
‘Cause they never got the love that we were built to have.
C                           Csus
But I never had a day go by, he didn’t look me in the eye.
C                                       Csus
Say I love you, I’m proud of you, and I always will


[Chorus]
C                              Csus           C                                   Csus
Keep your hands on the 10 and the 2.  Keep your eye on the ball and follow through.
         Dm                             Em                           Am       G      F
When you fall, get up.  There’s no such thing as luck.  And though I pray you never do…
       Dm         Em                F
If you get a little lost just say a prayer.
                                                     C    Csus
And don’t spend your whole life getting somewhere.


[Bridge]
Dm                                Em
He’d say on a scale from 1 to 10, how’s your heart and how you been
 Am            G                       F
He still gets around to asking every now and then….


[Chorus]
C                              Csus           C                                   Csus
Keep your hands on the 10 and the 2.  Keep your eye on the ball and follow through.
         Dm                             Em                           Am       G      F
When you fall, get up.  There’s no such thing as luck.  And though I pray you never do…
       Dm         Em                F
When you get a little lost just say a prayer.
                                                     C    Csus
And don’t spend your whole life getting somewhere.
