Just Getting By

	  		
Intro: A    C#m  E   (3x, first time just synth, band comes in 2nd time) 

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 


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 


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