How Do I Get By - Original (Brittana song - lyrics in info)

This song was inspired by Santana's confession to (and subsequent rejection by) Brittany. Please excuse the vocals, I'd run my voice ragged before I recorded it trying to get the lyrics down (and there are still mistakes, AS USUAL!). So uh, hope you enjoy it...

LYRICS:

Truth be told, it's hard not to notice you
I've tried to hold it in
And just this once, I let you surround me
Now my walls are caving in
I am the one who loves you
And I've been here all along, all along

So how do I get by?
How do I deal?
I put it all aside
To tell you how I feel
Now I'm hurt and I'm lost inside
And I'd give anything for you to be mine
How do I get by?
And how do I deal?

Yesterday things were so much easier
I'd never let you see
And now you know why things could never be that simple
This love is breaking me
It took so long to see what
You've shown me all along, all along

CHORUS

I've opened up and I'm coming clean
That my love for you has got a hold on me
But my pride keeps getting in the way
Now it's said and done but I need you to know
That I love you too much just to let you go
And if I'm not the one then there's nothing left to say

CHORUS x 2

Hey!! I love this song and I just wanna ask- every year my school does this battle of the bands thing, where the kids cover a song and perform it, and I was wondering if my 'band' could cover this? Please?? *does puppy dog eyes*

[spashleyboy]

@lilmsgothicprincess1 Of course, I'd be honoured! I hope you do very well, and I would love to see/hear it if you video it!

So, I like the studio version I bought on iTunes, but I also ADORE this acoustic version. It's so... It's more vulnerable, I think, and that makes it painfully beautiful. I'd buy it again for the acoustic, LOL.

Is there anyway I could get chords for this? Or a piano tutorial if it can be made into a piano song? My friends and I are starting a band and I am thinking of covering some Brittana inspired songs(already doing landslide) thanks so much this is amazing :)))
