Relative chords with lyrics:
Intro: EmCDEm x4
EmC Government man keep calling my house DEm talking ‘bout i owe, harassing my spouse. EmC Gotta park my truck on another block DEm cause the sub-prime loan got my ass in hock. EmC Gotta couple good friends with helping hands DEm I need a brand new job with a health care plan. EmC They closed the plant, they stole my job DEm told me crime don’t pay unless you ask the mob. EmC So i smoke a little grass, drink a little wine. DEm Watch a little tube, try to kill a little time. EmC And every single day i fall a little more behind. DEm But i’m paying it no mind, it’ll all be fine.
Chorus EmCDEm I get by (got it good) EmCDEm I barely get by (got it good) EmCDEm I barely get by
I laugh not to cry I stay a little high I ain’t gonna lie EmCDEm I barely get by I laugh not to cry I stay a little high I ain’t gonna lie (got it good)
EmC Party people in the place to be DEm Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by EmC It’s on and on till the brake of dawn DEm Got to keep the rent paid and the power on EmC Yes yes y’all and it never stops. DEm I don’t trust the government, i don’t trust no cops. EmC We dip and we dive and we socialize DEm We struggle and we strive just to stay alive.
EmCDEm I get by EmCDEm I barely get by
No Chords When I finally anekatips get home I can’t relax. cause i’ve been over worked and i’ve been over taxed. My bank accounts empty, all my cards are maxed. and i ain't looking for no pity, i’m just stating the facts.
No Chords I voted for some change and it’s kinda strange, No it’s all i got in my pocket. I bought a few led’s, now i’m growing some trees, And it’s a sweet fking hustle don’t knock it.
No chords I told y’all before i would break the law to put some food in my baby girl’s belly. cause the senator man took a bribe in hand And went and shipped my job to new delhi.
Chorus
EmC Party people in the place to be DEm Put your hands in the sky if you barely getting by EmC It’s on and on till the brake of dawn DEm Got to keep the rent paid and the power on EmC Yes yes y’all and it never stops. D I don’t trust the government Em I don’t trust no cops. EmC I dip and i dive and i socialize DEm I struggle and i strive just to stay alive.
Chorus
