I'm Alright

Jersey Green


Tom: C

 C                    G
Those green eyes and that contagious smile
           Am            F
And those lips, and the way they verbalize
    C                    G
Oh, New York City, what a beauty to our eyes
     Am
Then you held my hand the first time
    F                 C
You looked at me and smiled

 C                         G
Everything was perfect, everything was great
  Am                       F
I was on a fairytale. It's a dream while I'm awake
 C
But days passed and we weren't there
     G                             Am    F
And it felt like we didn't care anymore, anymore

      Am        F
But why'd we say goodbye
                 C                    G
We said we didn't have enough time for both of us
              Am      F
We said we'll try to work things out
              C                         G
But all 'a sudden we're all tired and said goodbye

Chorus:              C
It's sad not to hear you;
           G
Calling me up, at 3am
  Am
No one's ever gonna sing to me
 F                  G
Stevie Wonder songs again
C               G                     Am
I'll miss your kiss and you curly hair

But now that we said goodbye
F                        C
I'll pretend that I'm alright
           G             Am
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright

You said you didn't wanna see me cry
        F                     C
Well, I'll pretend that I'm alright
       G     Am    F
I'm alright..

 C                           G
I'll miss you holding hotel keys
                                        Am
And watch you sing to girls with happy tears
                                      F
When you're on stage, you point at me, you sing to me

As I chant your name
C                             G
And as the spotlights disappear
                                Am
It's a different person that I'm with
                           F
So much simpler, so much better, and just so beautiful

  C                              G
The way we laugh with four more guys
   Am                             F
You walk around naked and cover my eyes
C                 G
You're just so funny
                                   Am      F
I can't believe we're letting this go

    Am               F
But why'd we say goodbye
              C                           F
We said we didn't have enough time for both of us
            Am                 F
We said we'll try to work things out
           C                               G
But all 'a sudden we're all tired and said goodbye

Chorus:              C
It's sad not to hear you;
           G
Calling me up, at 3am
  Am
No one's ever gonna sing to me
 F         G
Stevie Wonder songs again
C               G                     Am
I'll miss your kiss and you curly hair

But now that we said goodbye
F                        C
I'll pretend that I'm alright
           G             Am
Yeah, I'm alright, I'm alright

You said you didn't wanna see me cry
        F                     C
Well, I'll pretend that I'm alright
       G     Am    F
I'm alright..

C                       G
Maybe it's time to let go
                         Am
Maybe it's better off alone
                         F
Maybe today's the wrong time

Someday, we'll learn to be strong
C                          G
Maybe you're right about this
                              Am
We're busy people with busy lives
                      F
We can't keep up on this
       C    G   Am    F
So goodbye  (aye, aye, aye, aye)

C        G      Am
Call me up at 3am
          F             G
Sing me Stevie Wonder songs again
 C                    G
Your kiss and your curly hair
Am
Never gonna say goodbye
          F      C
'Cause we're alright
