I Get By Lyrics & Chords By Honest Bob And The Factory-to-dealer Incentives

If I had you I'd hold you like a guitar
I could slay you with a well placed f sharp bar
if you don't want to hear that tune
I'll leave my fingers were they are
and every time I see your face I want to touch it
and I know I'll never touch it
I get by, I get by
and I can't tell how hard I tried
I can't reveal what I can't hide
I said that I was fine, I'd lied
but I can stick around and see you smile from the side
I say William Shakespeare had the right idea
put your passion in a poem she won't hear
if your heart is whole again
you can publish it next year
and every time I see your neck I want to kiss it
and I know I'll never kiss it
I get by, I get by
and i've been in my head to long
to know when what I think is wrong
but I can write another song
and I can stick around and see you as you sing along
I had another set of words to use
instead of what I'm singing here
the rhymes were intricate and every
rhyme was filled up with alliteration
and the best poetic tricks
it demonstrated just how clearly
I'm the perfect guy for you to hear
but in reality perfection isn't really what we want
so we just throw it at the page and we call it
a masterpiece if any part of it sticks
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been waiting on another bright idea
I've been working on a song that you won't hear
I've been working on a song that you won't hear
I've been working on a song for you, you
everybody tells me that I'm fine
and everybody tells me not to mind
everybody says "just tell the line"
and everybody tells me that the world
was made for me to play in,
but I don't believe them
