1) Must be getting early, clocks are running late, Paint-by-number morning sky, looks so phony.
2) I see you've got your list out, say your piece and get out Yes I get the gist of it, but it's all right.
3) I know the rent is in arrears, the dog has not been fed in years It's even worse than it appears, but it's all right.
4) The shoe is on the hand it fits, there's really nothing much to it Whistle through your teeth and spit, 'cause, it's all right.

B ------------ F# -- B ----- E--------- A------ E-----F#----------B------------E
1) Dawn is breaking everywhere, light a candle, curse the glare Draw the curtains, I don't care, 'cause it's alright.
2) Sorry that you feel that way, the only thing there is to say Every silver lining's got a touch of grey.
3) Cows giving kerosene, kid can't read at seventeen The words he knows are all obscene, but it's all right.
4) Oh wear the Touch of Grey, kind of suits you anyway That was all I had to say, it's all right.

chorus
F# I B will get E by F# I B will get E by F# I B will get A by E---F# I will E survive

C#m It's a lesson F# to me, the C#m Ables and the Bakers and F# the Cs
The Ebm ABCs A# we all must face, and C#m try to keep a F# little grace.

It's a lesson to me, the deltas and the east and the freeze
The ABCs, we all think of, try to give a little love

I will get by, I will get by I will get by, I will survive We will get by, we will get by We will get by, we will survive
