This is a very rough idea of it, and I'm sorry, 
but it's better than nothing.  =)  Hopefully 
they'll come out with a song book soon. 
 
---------------------------- 
 
D 
it's alright 40 days of rain 
skin streched out from the growing pain 
it'd be nice to have an explination 
but it's alright 
D 
and it's alright if you hate that way 
if you hate me 'cause I'm different 
if you hate me 'cause I'm gay 
the truth of the matter come around one day 
and it's alright 
G 
I look at this life line streched 
Gm                D 
way all across my hand 
D                        E7 
I look at the burned out empty 
                         G      A7 
like a plague across the land 
G                            Gm 
and for everything I learned there are 
                 D 
two I don't understand 
                          E7 
that's why I'm still on a search 
through the weather strewn church 
E7            G            
I'm doing the best that I can 
(stop) 
and it's alright 
 
D 
it's alright though we worry and fuss 
we can't get over the hump 
can't get over us 
seems easier to let go and trust 
but it's alright 
D 
when we get a little distant some 
things get clearer 
give 'em space some hearts grow nearer 
I ran as hard as I could 
still ended up here 
and it's alright 
G 
Well I look at this life line streched 
Gm                D 
way all across my hand 
                    E7 
I look at the fires of hatred 
burning up the bounty of this 
G 
beautiful land 
                          Gm 
and I know I'm small in a way 
               D 
but I know I'm strong 
            E7 
and it's my thirst that brought me to the water 
                        G           
I give it all up as she carries me on 
and it's alright 
 
*bridge* 
G A D x2 
 
(finger picking) 
D 
and it's alright if I feel afraid 
            E7 
my plans in pieces, my plans mislaid 
                     G 
it's the will of the way, the will of the way 
                A 
the will of the only way that could have 
brought me here today 
(stop) 
and it's alright
