F Fmaj7
Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
Bb Gm
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
F C
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Bbmaj7 Gm
We're all tryin' to get along
[Verse 2]
F Fmaj7
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
Bb Gm
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
F C
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Bbmaj7 Gm
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
[Chorus]
Bb C F
No man's got it made
G7 Am Bb
Till he's far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
C Bbmaj7 C F C
Go on living just the same
[Verse 3]
F Fmaj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
Bb Gm
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
F C
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Bbmaj7 Gm F
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
Fmaj7 Bb Gm
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
F C Bb Gm
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]
Bb C F
My man's got it made
G7 Am Bb
He's gone far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
C Bbmaj7 C F
Go on living just the same
[Solo]
(over verse chords)
[Chorus]
Bb C F
Now my man's got it made
G7 Am Bb
He's gone far beyond the pain
F C Dm
And we who must remain
C Bbmaj7 C F
Go on living just the same
F C Dm C Bb C F
We who must remain go on laughing just the same
