Verse
E Emaj7
Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
A F#m
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
E B
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Amaj7 F#m
We're all tryin' to get along
[Verse 2]
E Emaj7
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
A F#m
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
E B
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Amaj7 F#m
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
[Chorus]
A B E
No man's got it made
F#m7 G#m A
Till he's far beyond the pain
E B C#m
And we who must remain
B Amaj7 B E B
Go on living just the same
[Verse 3]
E Emaj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
A F#m
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
E B
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Amaj7 F#m E
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
Emaj7 A F#m
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
E B A F#m
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]
A B E
My man's got it made
F#m7 G#m A
He's gone far beyond the pain
E B C#m
And we who must remain
B Amaj7 B E
Go on living just the same
[Solo]

We who must remain go on laughing just the same
