[Verse 1]
G
My dad he sought to teach me all the rules of mathematics
C
I absorbed all of his lessons now I sometimes wish I hadn’t
G
cause now I know to add up, put two and two together
D
I'm curious if ignorance would not have suit me better
G
I set sail for Washington and the hardest part of moving
C
is the tourist traps that snare you and I got the shirt to prove it
G
I want a hotter body and a cooler sense of style
D
want to corner every market in the country by the time I
[Bridge]
A
by the time I turn 25, the time I learn to drive
A# N.C.
oh, I'm behind the curve 'cause I'm not famous as a child alright
[Chorus]
G
I have a thought it's alright
C
I write a song it's alright
G
you sing along it's alright
D
at rock bottom, I'm still better than I've been in my life
G
[Verse 2]
G
I'm waiting for the vampires to leave their homes to feed
C
so I can swoop and take their parking spot, its’ tough out on the street
G
when it's every monster for themselves but I am not a monster though
D
I just want to park my Mazda close to home as possible
G
I always push the people further asking for a bit more
C
but lately all these comments make me careful what I fish for
G
you told me I'm intractable, I only nod my head
D
but then I had to suck it up and finally google what it meant, it's alright
[Chorus]
G
I have a thought it's alright
C
I write a song it's alright
G
you sing along it's alright
D
at rock bottom I'm still better than I've been in my life
G
I waste my time I'm alright
C
I lose my keys I'm alright
G
I pet a dog I'm alright
D
I got talent and my mama told me that I'm alright
[Verse 3]
G
Pick a poem, any poem just don't let me see it
C
I scratch clever lines down on my bus ride discretely
G
the bumps shake my hand like it’s so nice to meet me
D
now I can't read my notes but they're not worth repeating
[Bridge]
A
I've been looking for a pattern in the data that I've gathered
A# B
turns out all you want’s a chorus it’s the only part that matters... Alright!
[Chorus]
G
I have a thought it's alright
C
I write a song it's alright
G
you sing along it's alright
D G
at rock bottom I'm still better than I've been in my life
