Tom: C

Cadd9 G G/B G

[Verse 1]
Cadd9       G                            G/B    G
When you're young you don't think about
         Cadd9         G          G/B   G
How good things have a bad side
               Cadd9         G       G/B  G
You spend your time waiting around
        Cadd9               G      G/B    G
For the fall not the goodbye

[Verse 2]
            Cadd9        G
When you're naive and so green
             G/B    G
It makes it hard to believe
         Cadd9               G    G/B   G
How life works when you're older

[Chorus]
         Cadd9          G               G/B    G
Even the best of us get hurt sometimes
              Cadd9   G                     G/B   G
Could be from life or love or "I don't know why"
      Cadd9          G                 G/B       G
It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand
             Cadd9                  G
Don't blame yourself and don't ask why
           G/B            G    Cadd9 G G/B G
That's the art of getting by
           G/B            G
That's the art of getting by    Cadd9 G G/B G

[Verse 3]
        Cadd9                G
It gets easy to become blind to
          G/B                  G
The good things when times are rough
    Cadd9                        G              G/B
But when there's nothing left to try and do
                               G
It's okay to throw your hands up
                  Cadd9            G
'Cause there's no use in getting burned
                G/B              G
From the same lessons that you learned
        Cadd9       G                G/B  G
So carry them with you and be wiser

[Chorus]

        Cadd9          G               G/B    G
Even the best of us get hurt sometimes
              Cadd9   G                     G/B   G
Could be from life or love or "I don't know why"
      Cadd9          G                  G/B       G
It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand
             Cadd9                  G
Don't blame yourself and don't ask why
           G/B            G    Cadd9 G G/B G
That's the art of getting by
           G/B            G
That's the art of getting by    Cadd9 G G/B G

[Bridge]
   Cadd9*        G*
No life ain't a game
        Cadd9*                G*
There's nothing to win, and no way to cheat
       Cadd9*        G*
We all walk through flames
        Cadd9            G
All get burned from the heat

[Chorus]
Cadd9 G G/B G

        Cadd9          G               G/B    G
Even the best of us get hurt sometimes
              Cadd9   G                     G/B   G
Could be from life or love or "I don't know why"
      Cadd9         G                  G/B        G
It's all out of our hands, nobody will ever understand
             Cadd9                  G
Don't blame yourself and don't ask why
           G/B            G    Cadd9 G G/B G
That's the art of getting by
           G/B            G
That's the art of getting by
