[G(add9)]Stack of bills on the kitchen table,
Out go the lights and off goes the cable.
[D] If she don't pay em by the 15th,
Then [A]it don't look like she's gonna be able.
[G(add9)] Two mouths to feed, two jobs barely get it done,
A lot on the plate for a single mom of 31.
[D] [A] [G]
But she keeps finding that light at the [A]end of the tunnel.
But [D]somehow [F#m]she keeps [G]getting by,
The only soft [D]shoulder she knows is off [Bm]some old broken road,
She's [A]goin' down...she's [G]goin' down.
[D]Sometimes [F#m]she feels like [G]throwin' in the towel,
But [A]she's [Bm]not, no matter [G]what she's gonna [A]give her kids a [Bm]better life,
Than what [A]she's [G]got...
And that's what [A]keeps her getting by[G(add9)].[A] [Asus] [A]
[G(add9)] Friday at noon its parent/teacher day,
Its Johnson Elementary or half a shift's pay,
[D]She wouldn't miss it for the world.
[G(add9)]She looks around at all the daddies in the room,
Wishin' her kids had one of them too.
This [D]ain't how she planned it, her [A]life's goin' ten different [G]ways,
Its off to little league, and [A]then to ballet..
But [D]somehow [F#m]she keeps [G]getting by,
The only soft [D]shoulder she knows is off [Bm]some old broken road,
She's [A]goin' down...she's [G]goin' down.
[D]Sometimes [F#m]she feels like [G]throwin' in the towel,
But [A]she's [Bm]not, no matter [G]what she's gonna [A]give her kids a [Bm]better life,
Than what [A]she's [G]got...
And that's what [A]keeps her getting by.[D]

[F] Silver [G]lining[A].
