D         D7
Some say life is hard
      G                    C                  D
Like swimming upstream or going against the grain
           D7
But I say life ain't that hard,
G                       C                  D
'Cuz I've seen how the joy outweighs the pain.

           A       D      A         D
So you can sit and whine about the time
G
You've been having;
D      A      D     A        D
Oh but as for me I choose to be
   G               D
As happy as I can be.

               G
Because I'm alright
C
Trouble may find me,
          A                 D
But it's not gonna keep me down,
                  G
Cuz I'll hold on tight
       C          
To the father who loves me,
        A                D
And he likes having me around.
         D7               G
Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,
    C       A        D     D7     G       C 
And so I'll be... Alright

D      D7
We go 'round and 'round
G                  C              D
Back and forth and almost upside-down
        D7
To buy who we are:
  G                      C                  D
A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car.

         A        D         A           D
But I'm learning that this world keeps turning
G
With or without me;
D       A     D                A         D
So I'll do my best, I'm gonna leave the rest
       G                  D
To the one watching over me.

               G
Because I'm alright
C
Trouble may find me,
          A                 D
But it's not gonna keep me down,
                  G
Cuz I'll hold on tight
       C          
To the father who loves me,
        A                D
And he likes having me around.
         D7               G
Yeah he loves me, and he cares for me,
    C       A        D       D7
And so I'll be... Alright
   G         C  A
Alright... Alright...
D        D7             G         C        G        D
Alright, Alright, I'm Alright...
