Intro: F# B F# B
Verse 1
F#
Are you disappointed Is this world a let down
B
With your head in the clouds its time to get down
F#
Head on collision crushed by dreams
B
So we leave our hearts at the accident scene
F# B
Shattered pieces scattered who told us it was ok
To allow our thoughts to be flattered
F#
And entertained with ideas that can't sustain
B
A future once so confidently proclaimed
F#
So where to you go from here when it all disappears
B
Apathy dries your tears until you don't care or you
F#
Live and die occupied with
B
Disclaimers and reasons as to why
F#
Realize life isn't lived in fantasies
B
No matter how much planning or strategy
F# B
Joy comes along with tragedy I won them all gladly
Chorus
B F#
I'm alright I'm okay I kind of like doing things this way
B C#
All I have is what God gives and that's all the life that I was meant to live
Verse 2
F# B
We're not taught trial and error We're not taught nor are we prepared
F#
So we fail against everyday opponents
B
All the while we're still living for glorious moments
F#
And the media feeds the youth a false reality
B
Of what it takes to make yourself happy
F#
And since they've got about a one in a billion shot
B
Why try and make them think its something its not
F#
No this ain't no movie this real life
B
The spot light don't shine quite as bright as some might like
F#
But that's alright cos the starlight at night is
B
More of a highlight than the high life
F#
The air I consume from the breath of creation
B
Renews my soul everyday I awake and
F# B
Ah man tell me who knew that simply being content was the dream come true
Chorus
B F#
I'm alright I'm okay I kind of like doing things this way
B C#
All I have is what God gives and that's all the life that I was meant to live
play this to finish
This is almost completely F# and B
