Standard (EADGBE)

We get high in backseats of cars

We break into mobile homes

We go to sleep to shake up you

And then wake up on our own

Chorus

And that's the way we get by to

 Way we get by

Aw that's, the way we get by to

 Way we get by

We go out in stormy weather

We rarely practice discern

We make love to some with sin

We seek out the taciturn

Chorus

And that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by

We found a new kinda dance in a magazine

Try it on, it's like nothin' you've ever seen

You sweet talk like a cop, an' you know it

You bought a new bag of pot

So let's make a new start

Chorus

And that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by

PIANO INTERLUDE

We get high in backseats of cars

We put faith in our concerns

Fall in love to down the streak

We believe in the sum of ourselves

And that's the way we get by to

 Way we get by

Aw that's the way we get by to

 Way we get by

And that's the way we get by to

 Way we get by to

Way

And that's the way we get by

That's the way we get by
