they'll come out with a song book soon.

it's alright 40 days of rain 

skin streched out from the growing pain 

it'd be nice to have an explination 

but it's alright 
D5 
and it's alright if you hate that way 

if you hate me 'cause I'm different 

if you hate me 'cause I'm gay 

the truth of the matter come around one day 

and it's alright 
G5 
I look at this life line streched 
G5                D5 
way all across my hand 
D5                        E5 
I look at the burned out empty 
                         G5      A5 
like a plague across the land 
G5                            G5 
and for everything I learned there are 
                 D5 
two I don't understand 
                          E5 
that's why I'm still on a search 

through the weather strewn church 
E5            G5            
I'm doing the best that I can 
(stop) 
and it's alright 
 

D5 
it's alright though we worry and fuss 

we can't get over the hump 

can't get over us 

seems easier to let go and trust 

but it's alright 
D5 
when we get a little distant some 

things get clearer 

give 'em space some hearts grow nearer 

I ran as hard as I could 

still ended up here 

and it's alright 
G5 
Well I look at this life line streched 
G5                D5 
way all across my hand 
                    E5 
I look at the fires of hatred 

burning up the bounty of this 
G5 
beautiful land 
                          G5 
and I know I'm small in a way 
               D5 
but I know I'm strong 
            E5 
and it's my thirst that brought me to the water 
                        G5           
I give it all up as she carries me on 

and it's alright 
 
*bridge* 
G5 A5 D5 x2 
(finger picking) 
D5 
and it's alright if I feel afraid 
            E5 
my plans in pieces, my plans mislaid 
                     G5 
it's the will of the way, the will of the way 
                A5 
the will of the only way that could have 
brought me here today 
(stop) 
and it's alright
