Version 1 Version 2
[Intro]
C/G ( with hammer on / offs alternating D an G strings)
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7/C C/G
It ain't alright, the hardness of my head
Am Fmaj7/C
Now close your eyes and spin around
G C
Say, hard times, you could find
G C Fmaj7/C
That it ain't the way that you want
C/G
But it's still alright
Am Fmaj7/C C/G
Late at night, do you lay around wondering?
Am Fmaj7/C
Counting all the lines, it ain't so funny now
G C G C
Say, times are hard, you get this far
G C Fmaj7/C
But it ain't the way that you want
G C G C
I'll be damned if this old man
G C Fmaj7/C
Don't start to counting his losses
C/G
But it's still alright
[Bridge]
G
They say you learn a lot out there
C
How to scorch and burn
G
Gonna have to bury your friends
C
And then you'll find it gets worse
G
Standing out on the ledge
C
With no way to get down
G Fmaj7/C
Start praying for wings to grow
C/G
Oh, baby, just let go
[Instrumental]
Am Fmaj7/C C/G x2
C/G
[Verse]
Am Fmaj7/C C/G
It ain't alright, you keep spinning out ahead
Am Fmaj7/C
It was cold outside when I hit the ground
G C G C
Say, I could sleep here, forget all the fear
G C Fmaj7/C
It will take time to grow
C/G
Maybe, I don't know
Am Fmaj7/C C/G
Hey, tonight, if you think about it again
Am Fmaj7/C
Remembering all the times that you pointed out
G C G C
Say, the glass is clear, but all this fear
G C Fmaj7/C
Starts a-leaving a mark
G C G C
Your idle hands are all that stands
G C Fmaj7/C
From your time in the dark
C/G
But it's still alright
[Outro]
C/G ( with hammer on / offs alternating D an G strings)
