(Capo 1) Intro: G Verse 1: G F I’ve been all around Gutter Town, lookin’ for a better frown C G Beatin’ on misery’s door F
Lookin’ high and lookin’ low, I guess I’m one of those lost souls C G Who just don’t quite fit in no more F Drifting, used and feeling down, staring at another round C G Will nighttime turn into day F Take in good times when you’re blue, will there be someone there for you C G When you’re dyin’ on your dyin’ day Chorus: F C G Makin’ it through is what I do to get over you x2 Verse 2: G F Racing down that wreckless road’s got hard advice that we all know C G Take what you can and learn from it F I once saw a Satanist lose his life, he was rollin’ in the Devil with his dice C G I guess he was ready to call it quits. F Fightin’ all night just to keep in line, tryin’ too hard not to lose my mind C G Watchin’ all the folks doin’ the same F I’ve been all around Gutter Town, lookin’ for a better frown C G Why can’t no one here remember my name? Chorus: F C G Makin’ it through is what I do to get over you x2 Instrumental break: Repeat verse for 2 lines Repeat chorus 2x Verse 3: G F I’ve had hard times tryin’ to beat my wife, but I never really liked the kind of trouble C G It got me in along the way F So I got me a dog and I solved it all, now me and him are makin’ our own laws C G There’s something about living this kind of way F I had me a friend in Birmingham, got a twenty year sentence from a one night stand C G At least he did the time for his son Chorus: F C G Makin’ it through is what I do to get over you x4 Outro: Repeat chorus 4x
