Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
Cb G#m
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?

Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Cbmaj7 G#m
We're all tryin' to get along
[Verse 2]
F# F#maj7
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
Cb G#m
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
F# C#
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Cbmaj7 G#m
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
[Chorus]
Cb C# F#
No man's got it made
G#m7 A#m Cb
Till he's far beyond the pain
F# C# D#m
And we who must remain
C# Cbmaj7 C# F# C#
Go on living just the same
[Verse 3]
F# F#maj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
Cb G#m
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
F# C#
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Cbmaj7 G#m F#
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
F#maj7 Cb G#m
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
F# C# Cb G#m
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]
Cb C# F#
My man's got it made
G#m7 A#m Cb
He's gone far beyond the pain
F# C# D#m
And we who must remain

Go on living just the same

And we who must remain

Go on living just the same

We who must remain go on laughing just the same
