It's so g[G]ood to learn that right outside your wi[D]ndow

There's [Em]only friendly fields and open roads.[C]

And you'll sleep [G]better when you think you've [D]stepped back from the brink,

And [Em]found some peace inside yourself; lay [C]down your heavy load.


It gets alr[G]ight

[D] To dream at [C]night.

Believe in [G]solid skies and [F]slate blue earth be[C]low.

But when you [G]see him - you'll k[D]now.

[G]

It's o[G]kay to find the faith to saunter f[D]orward;

There's no [Em]fear of shadows spreading where you stand.[C]

And you'll breathe [G]easier just knowing that the w[D]orst is all behind you,

And the [Em]waves that tossed the raft all night have [C]set you on dry land.


It gets o[G]kay

[D] To praise the [C]day.

Believe in [G]sheltering skies and s[F]table earth beneath[C].

But hear his [G]breath come

Through his [D]teeth.

[G]

[G]Walk [D]by [C]faith,

Tell [Em]no-one [D]what you've [C]seen.

[G]

It's so [G]good to learn that from right here the [D]view goes on forever;

And you'll [Em]never want for comfort,

And you'll [C]never be alone.

See the [G]sunset turning red,

Let all be [D]quiet in your head.

[Em] And look about:

All the [C]stars are coming out.


They [G]shine[D]

Like steel [C]swords.

Wish me [G]well[F]

Where I go.[C]

But when you [G]see me,

You'll [D]know.

[G]
