G D
I know change is a bad thing
Am C
Breaks me down into a sorry sad thing
G D Am C
Not some iridescent grateful butterfly
G D
I'll resist with defiance
Am C
Not the power of a mystic silence
G D Am C
I will fight the dizzy spiral of goodbye
G D Am C
And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D
Please don't say you don't love me
Am C
Never dangle any sword above me
G D Am C
With the kind of change that severs me in two
G D
Give me amberizing glasses
Am C
Could you slow it down like molasses
G D Am C
As I salvage my old self away from you?

Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
G D Am C
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
C
Because I have seen insane things
Am
All those grand, historic paintings
C D
Morning light on polished swords and burnished pride
Am
Anxious smiles encased in whalebone
C
Spines of steel from head to tail bone
Am C D
Cannons poised to blast the turning of the tide
G D
It's a sad and a strange thing
Am C
But it's time and I am changing
G D Am C
Into something good or bad, well, that's your guess
G D
I'm my own sovereign nation
Am C
Dedicated to a transformation
G D Am C
Marching on with this target on my chest, Oh yes,

And it's alright, it's alright, it's alright

Oh, it's alright, it's alright, it's alright
