Was - n't it yes - ter - day, I was eight years old
C F G
I had a poc - et full of rocks that I knew were made of sol - id gold
Am G
There were girls to be ha - ted trees to be climbed,
C F C Am7
forts to be built, there was so much time; It's good to be alive good to be alive
F C F
There's no - thing in the world like be - ing fif - teen:
C F G
Your poc - kets are empty, but your head is full of dreams
Am G
of girls to be loved, of plac - es to see
C F Dm7 G
it's the best and the worst, just my friends and me and we're anything we want to be
C F Bb
And it's good to be a - live feel the wind in my face,
F C F Bb F
see the blue in the sky; It's days like this I re-al-lize what a gift it is,
C
it's good to be a - live
F C F C
Well, I won - der what this day will see. Will I find my dreams
F G Am
or stare in the face of tra - ge - dy; What - ever may come ,
G C F
what - ever may be of this I am sure, I'm for - given and free;
G C
And I will live like I be - lieve. It's good to be a - live
