Get used to it

Wise words from Andrew Davies to new graduates at Warwick- reflecting on the fact that they had had to work hard for their degrees and he was getting a honorary doctorate...

Fun with a synthesised Hammond Organ.

(Ab+)
A A+
So you’re sitting sad, feeling all alone
D D o(A)
She’s taken everything, down to the carpets from your home
A A+
And you rail at fate for twisting that knife
D D o(F#) D o(A’)
But what’s the use of despair, get up get on with your life…
A F# C7B7 A
Get used to it… Get used to it

With all your trouble you had to take some time off work and
Your boss thinks you’re lazy, thinks that you’ve been shirking
And he’s given you your P45
Just keep telling yourself ‘Hey! I’m still alive.’ … Get used to it… Get used to it

Get used to it… no one said that life was fair
D F
Get used to it … no guarantees, no even shares
Get used to it… it isn’t written in the rules
Get used to it… life can be sweet, life can be cruel
A F# B C G A (Ab+)
Get used to it………………..that’s life
Instrumental verse
You gotta pick yourself up, start out once again
God helps those who help themselves, next time don’t miss that train
And when you reach that place where all your troubles fall
Don’t go feeling guilty Mr Sunshine’s come to call…
A F# B C G A (Ab+)
Get used to it………………..that’s life

Get used to it… no one said that life was fair
Get used to it … no guarantees, no even shares
Get used to it… it isn’t written in the rules
Get used to it… life can be sweet, life can be cruel
A F# B C G A F#
Get used to it………………..that’s life
D D o(A)
Get used to it…. Get used to it
A F# B C G A F#
Get used to it………………..that’s life
D D o(A) A F#
Get used to it…. Get used to it.. You know you’d better get used to it
D F G A
Get used to it………… …..that’s life
