Verse 1:
 
A 
Can you feel a wind blowing 
A 
Got me talking to myself

One more day, one more truth, got to find out where 
A 
Feel the flow of the river taking me there 
A 
Good Lord only get you so far, 
A 
Then you got to help yourself 
F#m             E                         A 
I don't need no reason, reason to hang my head 


                  A    G 
Cause I gotta get over 
C                  D 
Get on over to the good side 
                 A     G 
Lord I gotta get over 
C                     D 
Get over, you get a lil' closer

Gotta get over 
C             D 
Getting over, over 




Verse 2:
 
I've been breaking like the waves upon the sand 
You know I need some fortitude, gonna keep it close at hand 
And I gotta shake it if I'm gonna break it on down the line 
Ain't nobody can help me if I stay helpless all the time 
You know I got this feeling, feeling on my mind 


I gotta get over 
Get on over to the good side 
Gotta get over 
Help me get a little closer 
I gotta get over 
Getting closer to the good side 
Lord I gotta get over, 
Getting over, over
