This is a very rough idea of it, and I'm sorry, 
but it's better than nothing.  =)  Hopefully 
they'll come out with a song book soon.

D 
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 
D 
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 
G 
I look at this life line streched 
Gm                D 
way all across my hand 
D                        E7 
I look at the burned out empty 
                         G      A7 
like a plague across the land 
G                            Gm 
and for everything I learned there are 
                 D 
two I don't understand 
                          E7 
that's why I'm still on a search 

through the weather strewn church 
E7            G            
I'm doing the best that I can 
(stop) 
and it's alright 
 

D 
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 
D 
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 
G 
Well I look at this life line streched 
Gm                D 
way all across my hand 
                    E7 
I look at the fires of hatred 

burning up the bounty of this 
G 
beautiful land 
                          Gm 
and I know I'm small in a way 
               D 
but I know I'm strong 
            E7 
and it's my thirst that brought me to the water 
                        G           
I give it all up as she carries me on 

and it's alright 
 
*bridge* 
G A D x2 
(finger picking) 
D 
and it's alright if I feel afraid 
            E7 
my plans in pieces, my plans mislaid 
                     G 
it's the will of the way, the will of the way 
                A 
the will of the only way that could have 
brought me here today 
(stop) 
and it's alright
