Was - n't   it yes - ter - day,  I  was eight  years  old 
        C5                                  F5                        G5 
I had a poc - et full of rocks that I knew were made of sol - id gold 
           A5                      G5         
There were girls to be ha - ted  trees to be climbed, 
C5                           F5                          C5                  A5  
forts to be built,  there was so much time; It's good to be alive good to be alive  
 

F5        C5                                             F5 
There's  no - thing in the world like be - ing fif - teen: 
      C5                                      F5             G5 
Your poc - kets are empty,  but your head is full of dreams   
A5                         G5 
of girls to be loved,  of  plac - es to see

it's the best and the worst, just my friends and me and we're anything we want to be  
         C5                    F5          Bb5               
And it's good to be a - live   feel the wind in my face, 
             F5                      C5             F5              Bb5       F5 
see the blue in the sky;  It's days like this I re-al-lize  what a gift it is, 
                      C5 
it's good to be a - live  
 

F5       C5                            F5                   C5   
Well, I won - der what this day will see.   Will  I find my dreams  
          F5                        G5            A5    
or stare in the face of tra - ge - dy;  What - ever may come , 
       G5              C5                           F5     
what - ever may be of this I am sure,  I'm for - given and free; 
                       G5                                     C5 
And I will live like I be - lieve.   It's good to be a - live
