Sad Songs and Cigarettes (Just Getting By)
© M. Townley/K. Bradley


(v1)
So this is what this bar looks like at daytime
At least I got outside the house today
See a few familiar faces and they don’t mean to pry
Asking how I’m doing since you’ve been gone
I just say

(Chorus)
I’m getting by on sad songs and cigarettes
And I don’t even smoke
Cheap beer and boxed wine
And I ain’t even broke
Sometimes you go from living
To just trying to survive
(I’m) gettin by just gettin by

(v2)
Everybody’s got their own way of coping
Some might say Iit looks like I’ve stopped trying
It’s not that I quit carin’,  
I still put on my mascara sometimes...

(repeat chorus)

(Bridge)

I got wounds that still need nursin
Gotta find a way to heal the hurtin
And get back to my old self
But till then…

(repeat chorus)
