You Always Get By 
Recorded by Ray Price
Written by Don Helms and Ray Price

C
I get so doggone tired of hearing you laugh

But when I start to get mad you begin to cry
    F
You shed your tears so that you can win out
    C
You turn 'em on like a water spout
        G7                          C
And get by well baby you always get by

   F                        C
No one can tell you nothing that you don't already know
          D7                     G7
You got a gravy train to ride on but you say it runs to slow

C
You get a big surprise when I get enough 

Cause I travel fast when the going's rough
   F
My hopes are high and the chips are down
    C
You cry my play house to the ground
        G7                          C
And get by well baby you always get by


Every time we quarrel you get the crying look

You must hold an onion in your pocketbook
    F
You just stand there like a teacher's pet
    C
And get every thing around you ringing wet
        G7                          C
And get by well baby you always get by

    F                    C
You get away with murder with a sad looking face
       D7                            G7
And if I put my foot down there'd be teardrops all over the place

C
I wish you wouldn't try to make a fool of me

It ain't doing so well with my dignity
     F
Just when I get the nerve to speak my mind
     C
Them tears start running up and down the spine
        G7                          C
You get by well baby you always get by
