One Way Up
From the album Odessa
[Intro]
D G (x2)
[Verse 1]
D G
How can you say there's only one way up?
D G
When you know there's a million ways down
D G
Some folks are falling, others trying to get up
D G
I'm the one who's staggering around
[Interlude]
D G (x2)
[Verse 2]
D G
How can you lay there when you got to get up
D G
When other folks are going downtown?
D G
Some of them flying out or making a bus
D G
And you're just laying around
[Interlude]

D G (x4)
[Verse 3]
D G
How can you say it's just beginner's luck
D G
When a kid picks up on the sound?
D G
I'm flipping and a-flopping, don't know which way is up
D G
But you know what it means to be down
[Interlude]

[Verse 4]
D G
How can you say there's only one way up?
D G
When you know there's a million ways down
D G
Some folks are falling, others trying to get up
D G
And I'm the one who's staggering around
D G
Yeah, I'm the one who's staggering around
