Getting Somewhere

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


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

[Verse 2]
C                                
Some people have a hole to fill. 
Csus
 They try and try but never will.
C                                 
‘Cause they never got the love 
             Csus
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                                 
Say I love you, I’m proud of you, 
      Csus
and I always will


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


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


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