[Verse 1]
                           C
One morning, Miguel and I
                        F
Set to leave for a job
              C
In the company sprinter van
                            G7
When he turned off the radio

And he put his forehead into his hand
          C            C7
We sat briefly in the quiet
       F
Of the ticking hazard lights
              C              G
'Til I said, "Man, are you alright?"
         C      G
And he replied

[Chorus]
               C    F       C
"You know, I'm only passing through
               F                       C
This job's not what I'm supposed to do
        C        F        C
It just pays the rent and fills the fridge
      G7
While I plan my next move

        C                  C7
But the months turn into years
        F
And the paychecks disappear
              C
And I'm stuck here with you
        G7                   C F C G7 F C
But I'm only passing through"

Dina's my companion now
    F                  C
She has been 'bout a year

We met online, went out two times
    G7
And now we're laying here
        C               C7
Reading emails side by side
       F
What a gift to be alive
  C                       G
I smile as she catches my eye
          C    G
But in my mind

[Chorus]
           C    F       C
I know I'm only passing through
               F                  C
There's better love for me than you
            F        C
It keeps me warm but my heart's on
    G7
The hunt for somebody new
        C                C7
But the months turn into years
        F
And the words ring in my ears
          C
I'm stuck here with you
        G7             C     F C G F C
But I'm only passing through

C
My dad, he was a tricky man
F                  C
Then maybe, so am I
                                     G7
Some love's so tough to understand

And we never thought to try
         C
'Til the sickness came on slow
        F
And the next thing that I know
    C               G7             C
I'm kneeling by his side saying goodbye
               G
And he's like

[Chorus]
               C    F       C
"You know, I'm only passing through
             F               C
Dying's what I was born to do
            F         C
So dry your tears and while you're at it
G7
Fluff my pillow too
   C              C7
My body's failing me
    F
And sleep's my one relief
              C
And I'm stuck here with you
    G            C
I'm only passing through
F         C
I'm stuck here with you
    G          C           F C G F C
I'm only passing through"
