[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
