[Intro]
D D G G D A G
[Verse]
D A
Tell me now, if you came sneakin' up behind
Bm G
Would you know me and see behind the smile?
D A
I can change like colors on a wall
Bm G
Hopin' no one else will find what lies beneath it all
G
I think I hide it, oh, so well
[Chorus]
D G
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
G D A G
All the things I can't erase in my life, everybody knows
D G
Standin' out, so you won't forget my name
G D A G
That's the way we play this game of life, everybody knows
[Verse]
D A
Lookin' through the crowd I search for someone else
Bm G
But every time I turn around, I run into myself
D A
Here I stand consumed by my surroundings
Bm G
Just another day of everybody lookin'
G Em A
Swore they'd never see me cry never see me … cry
[Chorus]
D G
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
G D A G
All the things I can't erase in my life, everybody knows
D G
Standin' out, so you won't forget my name
G D A G
That's the way we play this game of life, everybody knows
[Bridge]
C G D A
You say I'll pay the price that's a chance that I'll take
C G Em
Though you may think I---'m tellin' lies
A
I just call it gettin' by
[Chorus]
D G
Steppin' out, everyone can see my face
G D A G
All the things I can't erase in my life, everybody knows
D G
Standin' out, so you won't forget my name
G D A G
That's the way we play this game of life, everybody knows

Everybody knows I'm just barely getting by

Everybody knows I'm just barely getting by
