Intro: (2x)

Verse:

Cadd9

I ain't got no car

And I’ve got one pair of jeans

They've been stretched too far

And now they're weak at the seams

Cadd9

I can't say what's next

And I got nothing up my sleeve

But I don't lose my head

G D

'Cause it ain't really up to me

Chorus:

And I'm doing just fine

I'm always landing on my feet

In the nick of time

And by the skin of my teeth

I ain't gonna stress

'Cause the worst ain't happened yet

Something's watching over me

Cadd9

I don't ask for a lot

No, nothing more than I need

Because I love what I got

Don't need to play the lottery

Cadd9

I just want to be strong

At the end of the road

I don't want to hold on

G D

I want the strength to let go

Chorus:

And I'm doing just fine

I'm always landing on my feet

In the nick of time

And by the skin of my teeth

I ain't gonna stress
