Just Getting By by Tenth Avenue North
Key: AA | Capo: 0fr |  Left-Handed 

Intro: A    C#m  E   (3x) 

Verse 1:
A2
Oh, when we were born, when we first arrived
C#m2                      E2
We took it all in through innocent eyes
A2
But we got jaded 'cause the beauty faded
C#m2                       E2                            A
So now we fake it in worlds built in the sky 
         C#m              No Chord  
But we keep coming up dry

Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                        A     C#m2   E2
Am I just getting by

Verse 2:
A2
Life can take a toll, everyday demands
C#m2                    E2
So much energy, so many mundane plans
A2
So we go digital, purely physical
C#m2          
Hey, it's just medicinal
No Chord
We need to ease our minds

Chorus:
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                       
Am I just getting by

Bridge:
C#m        A(5) 
I want to be all here now
E(5)             B
Wherever I am, that's where I'll be found
C#m                      A(5)
Staying present even in the fear now
E(5)               B
Life with open eyes
                      C#m
Please don't pass me by
                       A(5)
Life, don't pass me by
                       E(5)
Life, don't pass me by
                        B
Feel a spark when we look each other in the eye


Chorus: riff at end of Interlude continues into Chorus
E5
I'm waking up to what's around me
A5
I've lost too much to a fantasy
E5                                             A5
I'm tired of living like I'm just getting by
                  F#m
Just getting by
                        A     C#m2   E2
Am I just getting by
                              A2        C#m2    (E)
I don't want to just get by
