"Touch Of Grey" lyrics - DAVE MCMURRAY

Must be getting early
Clocks are running late
Paint-by-number morning sky looks so phony
Dawn is breaking everywhere
Light a candle, curse the glare
Draw the curtains, I don't care because it's alright

[Chorus:]
I will get by (I know that I'll get by)
I will get by (I know, I know)
I will get by (I'll get by)
I will survive
I will survive

I see you've got your fist out
Say your piece and get out
I guess I get the gist of it, but it's alright
Sorry that you feel that way
The only thing there is to say
Every silver lining's got a touch of grey

[Chorus:]
(I will get by) I will, I will get by
(I will get by) I'm pretty sure that I'll get by
(I will get by) I'll get by
I will survive

[Bridge:]
It's a lesson to me
The Ables, the Bakers and the C's
The ABC's we all must face
And try to keep a little grace
Oh-woah, ooh-ooh
I will get by, and I'll survive

[Instrumental break]

[Bridge:]
It's a lesson to me
The Deltas and the East and the Freeze
The ABC's we all think of
And try to give a little love

I know the rent is in arrears
The dog has not been fed in years
I know it's worse than it appears, but it's alright
Cow is giving kerosene
Kid can't read at seventeen
Words he knows are all obscene, but it's alright

[Chorus:]
(I will get by) I will, I will
(I will get by) Ooh-ooh-ooh
(I will get by) Get by
(We will get by) We will, we will
(We will get by) I know we will
(We will get by) Get by

[Outro:]
We will get by
We will survive
We're gonna make it
