It’s hard enough, I know
A11
To find the strength to go
A6 A7sus2
Back to where it all began
A6
It’s hard to enough to gain
A11
Any traction in the rain
A6 A7sus2
You know its hard for me to understand
CHORUS #1:
Am7 F#m7+5/A
Hard to find a way
Am7 F#m7+5/A
To get through another city day
Am7 F#m7+5/A
Without thinking about
Am7 F#m7+5/A A6 A11 A6 A7sus2
Gettin’ out
Now the strangest thing I’ve seen
Was a t-shirt turning green
In envy of turtle dove
The dove’s lady was the cause
Or maybe it was the olive branch she held in her claws
Or maybe he could see they were in love
CHORUS #2:
You know it’s hard for me to find a way
To get through another city day
Without thinking about
Gettin’ out
