Verse
A Amaj7
Tell me the truth, how do you feel?
D Bm
Like you're rollin' so fast that you're spinnin' your wheels?
A E
Don't feel too bad, you're not all alone
Dmaj7 Bm
We're all tryin' to get along
[Verse 2]
A Amaj7
With ev'rybody else tryin' to go their way
D Bm
You're bound to get tripped, and what can you say?
A E
Just go along til they turn out the lights
Dmaj7 Bm
There's nothin' we can do to fight it
[Chorus]
D E A
No man's got it made
Bm7 C#m D
Till he's far beyond the pain
A E F#m
And we who must remain
E Dmaj7 E A E
Go on living just the same
[Verse 3]
A Amaj7
I once knew a man, a very talented guy
D Bm
He'd sing for the people and people would cry
A E
They knew that his song came from deep down inside
Dmaj7 Bm A
You could hear it in his voice and see it in his eyes
Amaj7 D Bm
And so he traveled along, touch your heart, then be gone
A E D Bm
Like a flower, he bloomed till that old hickory wind called him home
[Chorus]
D E A
My man's got it made
Bm7 C#m D
He's gone far beyond the pain
A E F#m
And we who must remain
E Dmaj7 E A
Go on living just the same
[Solo]
