It's Alright

Chords

My dad, he sought to teach me all the rules of mathematics
I absorbed all of his lessons, now I sometimes wish I hadn't
cause now I know to add up, put two and two together
I'm curious if ignorance would not have suit me better

And I set sail for Washington, the hardest part of moving
is the tourist traps that snare you and I got the shirt to prove it
I want a hotter body and a cooler sense of style
want to corner every market in the country by the time I
by the time I turn 25, the time I learn to drive
oh, I'm behind the curve 'cause I'm not famous as a child alright

I have a thought: it's alright
I write a song: it's alright
You sing along: it's alright
At rock bottom, I'm still better than I've been in my life

I'm waiting for the vampires to leave their homes to feed
So I can swoop and take their parking spot, it's tough out on the street
When it's every monster for themselves but I am not a monster though
I just wanna park my Mazda close to home as possible

I always push the people further asking for a bit more
But lately all these comments make me careful what I fish for
You told me I'm intractable, I only nod my head
But then I had to suck it up and finally Google what it meant, it's alright

I have a thought: it's alright
I write a song: it's alright
You sing along: it's alright
At rock bottom, I'm still better than I've been in my life

I waste my time: I'm alright
I lose my keys: I'm alright
I pet a dog: I'm alright
I got talent and my mama told me that I'm alright

Pick a poem, any poem just don't let me see it
I scratch clever lines down on my bus ride discreetly
The bumps shake my hand like it's so nice to meet me
Now I can't read my notes but they're not worth repeating
I've been looking for a pattern in the data that I've gathered
Turns out all you want's a chorus it's the only part that matters...
Alright!

I have a thought: it's alright
I write a song: it's alright
You sing along: it's alright
At rock bottom, I'm still better than I've been in my life
