Tell me the truth, how do you feel?

Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?

Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Abmaj7 Fm
We're all tryin' to get along
[Verse 2]

With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
Ab Fm
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
D# A#
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Abmaj7 Fm
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
[Chorus]

No man's got it made

Till he's far beyond the pain

And we who must remain

Go on living just the same

D# D#maj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
Ab Fm
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
D# A#
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Abmaj7 Fm D#
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
D#maj7 Ab Fm
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
D# A# Ab Fm
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]
Ab A# D#
My man's got it made
Fm7 Gm Ab
He's gone far beyond the pain
D# A# Cm
And we who must remain

Go on living just the same
