Standard (EADGBE)

Some say life is hard

Like swimming upstream or going against the grain

But I say life ain't that hard,

'Cuz I've seen how the joy outweighs the pain.

So you can sit and whine about the time

You've been having;

Oh but as for me I choose to be

As happy as I can be.

Because I'm alright

Trouble may find me,

But it's not gonna keep me down,

Cuz I'll hold on tight

To the father who loves me,

And he likes having me around.

Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,

And so I'll be... Alright

We go 'round and 'round

Back and forth and almost upside-down

To buy who we are:

A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car.

But I'm learning that this world keeps turning

With or without me;

So I'll do my best, I'm gonna leave the rest

To the one watching over me.

Because I'm alright

Trouble may find me,

But it's not gonna keep me down,

Cuz I'll hold on tight

To the father who loves me,

And he likes having me around.

Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,

And so I'll be... Alright

Alright... Alright...

Alright, Alright, I'm Alright...
