Verse

I know it's hard to understand right now

After all you've been through somehow

These four words might not mean a thing

But as time passes I think you'll hear the church bells ringin

Chorus

Everything's gonna be alright

 I can tell by the way I feel this time

Everything's gonna be alright

Verse

I've been sitting up all night long

Ever since the early morning when you called

I can't describe this idle haze and rage

I just wish I'd see you walk through that door again

Chorus

Everything's gonna be alright

I can tell by the way I feel this time

Everything's gonna be alright

It's about love, it's about time

It's about makin it through the night

Everything's gonna be alright

Bridge

(Arpeggios)

Down in the basement I heard the speakers say

What do you really want to do

Out in the sunshine, I heard the sunshine say

Won't you come outside

Chorus progression

Verse

I wash the table, I clean the clothes

I hum along to the radio

Somehow I thought I could deal with this a little better

Still think I can with a little help from my friends

So catch the wind in the morning light

I close my eyes, I still hear your voice

But that's not . . . my imagination . . .

Is it really you . . .

Chorus

Everything's gonna be alright

I can tell by the way I feel this time

Everything's gonna be alright

It's about love, It's about life

It's about makin it through this night

Everything's gonna be alright

It's about love, it's about time

It's about makin it through the night

Everything's gonna be alright

It's about love, it's about life

It's about me, it's about time

Everything's gonna be alright.
