Some say life is hard
C# F# G#
Like swimming upstream or going against the grain
G#7
But I say life ain't that hard,
C# F# G#
'Cuz I've seen how the joy outweighs the pain.
D# G# D# G#
So you can sit and whine about the time
C#
You've been having;
G# D# G# D# G#
Oh but as for me I choose to be
C# G#
As happy as I can be.
C#
Because I'm alright
F#
Trouble may find me,
D# G#
But it's not gonna keep me down,
C#
Cuz I'll hold on tight
F#
To the father who loves me,
D# G#
And he likes having me around.
G#7 C#
Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,
F# D# G# G#7 C# F#
And so I'll be... Alright
G# G#7
We go 'round and 'round
C# F# G#
Back and forth and almost upside-down
G#7
To buy who we are:
C# F# G#
D# great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car.
D# G# D# G#
But I'm learning that this world keeps turning
C#
With or without me;
G# D# G# D# G#
So I'll do my best, I'm gonna leave the rest
C# G#
To the one watching over me.
C#
Because I'm alright
F#
Trouble may find me,
D# G#
But it's not gonna keep me down,
C#
Cuz I'll hold on tight
F#
To the father who loves me,
D# G#
And he likes having me around.
G#7 C#
Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,
F# D# G# G#7
And so I'll be... Alright
C# F# D#
Alright... Alright...
G# G#7 C# F# C# G#
Alright, Alright, I'm Alright...
