She said have patience G C Everything will be alright D Have patience G Give it just a little time C D Everything will be alright C G D I spent all day yesterday sitting at a red light C G D C 'Cause she told me to give it just a little more time G D And I lost my car in a parking lot C G D Bought a newspaper and I decided to walk CHORUS: N.C. She said have patience G C Everything will be alright D Have patience G Give it just a little time C D Everything will be alright INSTRUMENTAL: C G D (4x) C G D I spent all day yesterday listening to the church bells ring C G D It must have been a Sunday, I could hear the choir sing C G D And down in the graveyard they're listening to the underground C G They're the only ones who ever learn to calm down CHORUS: D Patience G C Everything will be alright D Have patience G Give it just a little time C D Everything will be alright C D Everything will be alright C Everything will be all D Everything will be all right
