[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Far across the
ocean
In China or Ja
pan
People live so
differently
But what I'm t
rying to under
stand
[Chorus]
Is when you're
struck with t
rouble
When you feel
the pain of li
fe
Oh please tell
me
How do you get
by?
[Verse 2]
Today you are
not with me
No, you had to
go
But you left w
ith him so qui
ckly
As if you want
ed me to know
[Chorus]
That without y
ou I am nothin
g
That without y
ou I would fal
l
But now I've l
earned my less
on
So it's time f
or you to call
Call me up
And tell me ho
w to get by
[Chorus]
Because it rai
ses up from un
derground
Swallows me up
pound for pou
nd
Dragging me on
down to hell
The way I feel
I might as we
ll
[Verse 3]
I've read book
s on mind and
matter
On philosophy
and art
I've read poem
s, songs and f
ables
That may tell
you about the
heart
[Chorus]
Oh, but when y
ou're struck w
ith trouble
When you feel
the pain of li
fe
There's only o
ne thing that
I can tell you
And you will k
now this when
you fall
That when you'
re tired of li
ving
It's best to b
e afraid to di
e
So for now
That's how I'l
l get by
