I'm Alright

	  		

G 
Today I met a man, sittin' on the corner 
D 
He was holdin' out his hand, had a couple quarters 
Em 
That he saved up in a can, I think i heard him whisper that you'll  
D 
never understand 
                                    G 
Damn, no place to call his home said he lives alone so he's forced to roam 
D 
With a shopping cart filled to the top with every thing he owns  
Em 
A smile on his face, yep there he stood  
D 
He was holdin' up sign sayin' life is good  
G 
Man, I wonder what it'd be like, a day in his shoes 
D 
I guess when you got nothin', you got nothin' to lose  
Em 
He said boy, don't you pity me, I'm still standin' tall 
D 
As a matter of fact, I got it all 

I got life, I got love 
I got faith and that's enough 
We feel sorrow, we feel pain 
But there's sunshine after rain 
So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time) 
So I'm alright (said you'll be fine, take it one day at time) 

Today I met a man makes a couple hundred grand  
Always stressin' out got 2 cell phones in his hand 
Lives the country club life, think he's on his 3rd wife  
Never makes it home for dinner cause he's workin' every night  
5 cars in the garage, 4 he's never drivin' 
Always wantin' more than just the life that he's been given  
Gotta strange obsession with material possessions 
Now he's always poppin' Prozac to battle his depression  
He's got everything he's ever wanted, and he's always tryin' to flaunt it 
But now it's all comin' back to haunt him  
Mistaken want's important in life for all the pointless stuff 
For some people, everything's just not enough 

I got life, I got love 
I got faith and that's enough 
We feel sorrow, we feel pain 
But there's sunshine after rain 
So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time) 
So I'm alright (said you'll be fine, take it one day at time) 

You gotta keep goin', never give it up 
You only live once, might as well live it up 
Every breath I take is a reason to believe 
That the finest things in life, came to me for free 
Said you gotta keep goin', never give it up 
You only live once, might as well live it up 
Every breath I take is a reason to believe 
That the finest things in life, came to me for free 

I got life, I got love 
I got faith and that's enough 
We feel sorrow, we feel pain 
But there's sunshine after rain 
So I'm alright (you'll be fine, take it one day at time)
