[Verse 1]
C          D              G    D
What's the deal with your dad?
C        D            G    D
He don't even know my name
C      D            G            C
Didn't know he'd be back, didn't know we'd been bad
                       D
No one stayed to share the blame

[Verse 2]
C        D          G    D
I didn't mean to do that
C         D         G      D
She won't even come around
C     D             G            C
Every time I looked back, didn't realize that
                 D
I was better off than now

[Chorus]
G       D                      E
Mothers came and cried for Abel
G       D                 C
Brother Cain survived the century's end
G       D                          E
All the time that I thought was my friend
       G             A           E
Be all right till we get back again

[Verse 3]
C      D             G                    D              C
Heaven knows you are right (and they will never drag you down)
              D              G                 D            C
And they will never drag you down (there ain't time to lose sight)
            D            G              C
There ain't time to lose sight, getting lost in the light
                   D
Is more than never being found

[Chorus]
G       D                      E
Mothers came and cried for Abel
G       D                 C
Brother Cain survived the century's end
G       D                          E
All the time that I thought was my friend
       G             A            E
Be all right till we get back again

[Verse 4]
C                 D                                G
We never could go back (and I could never leave my home)
            D           C
And I could never leave my home (why'd they change a face like that?)
                         D
Why'd they change a face like that?

[Bridge]
G      Am         G            Am            G
If I'd never seen you, I could always dream that
       C          D
I'd be better off alone

[Chorus]

Be all right till we get back again
       G             A           E
Be all right till we get back again
          G             A        E
Oh be all right till we get back again
