| D | Em7 | G | D |
[Verse 1]
D Em7 G D
How do you break through when the words don't reach your lips?
D Em7 G D
In a lump inside your throat or in a pile of could've beens
D Em7 G D
All the small talk and the catch up and the empty promises
D Em7 G D
How do you dive deeper in a shallow riverbed?
D Em7 G A Asus4 A
When the current pulls you further from what you should've said
[Chorus]
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
[Post-Chorus]

| D | Em7 | G | D |
[Verse 2]
D Em7 G D
When you're trying to be tender, but instead you come off cold
D Em7 G D
When your sweetness surrenders to the cruelness of this world
D Em7 G D
All the small stuff and the bad luck when it all becomes too much
D Em7 G D
How do you find solace in a place so quick to judge?
D Em7 G A Asus4 A
Do you try and play it cool or play the part you think they want?
[Chorus]
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
D C G
(Kindness of strangers)
D C G
(Kindness of strangers)
[Bridge]
D Em7 G D
People come and people go and some will make their mark
D Em7 G D
Like an iron to the bull, a symbol in your heart
C G D A
And the ones that stick around are the hardest ones to find
C G D A Asus4 A
And if you can't find the closeness, you need the kindness to survive
[Chorus]
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
D C G
Getting by on the kindness of strangers
D C G
Getting by (Kindness of strangers)
D C G
Getting by (Kindness of strangers)
D C G
(Kindness of strangers)
D C G
(Kindness of strangers)
