Intro:

G  D  C  D, G  C,
D  C,  B  A

Verse 1:

G        D               C     D
 Just be-cause you're no-body,
C                               D
 It doesn't mean that you're no good.
G        D               C      D
 Just be-cause there's a reason,
C                           D
 It doesn't mean it's under-stood.

Chorus 1:

                      C     D
It doesn't make it al-right,
G           D          C     D
 It doesn't make it al-right.
         G        D           C      D
It's the worst ex-cuse in the world,
       G           C          D     C, B  A
And it, it doesn't make it al-right.

Verse 2:

G            D                    C      D
 Some people think they're really clever,
C                               D
 To smash your head against the wall.
G          D                C        D
 Then they say; "You got it my way",
C                               D
 They really think they know it all.

Chorus 2:

                      C     D
It doesn't make it al-right,
G           D          C     D
 It doesn't make it al-right.
         G        D           C      D
It's the worst ex-cuse in the world,
       G           C          D     C, B  A
And it, it doesn't make it al-right.

Verse 3:

G        D              C          D
 Just be-cause you're a black boy,
C                      D
 Just because you're a white.
G           D                  C        D
 It doesn't mean you've got to hate him;
C                              D
 It doesn't mean you've got to fight.

Chorus 3:

                      C     D
It doesn't make it al-right,
G           D          C     D
 It doesn't make it al-right.
         G        D           C      D
It's the worst ex-cuse in the world,
       G           C          D     C, B  A
And it, it doesn't make it al-right.
