         A                                    E
it's so good to learn that right outside your window
F#m                                   D
there's only friendly fields and open roads
                 A                                                   E
and you'll sleep better when you think, you've stepped back from the brink
    F#m                                    D
and found some peace inside yourself, lay down your heavy load

           A   E             D
it gets alright to dream at night
            A              G                    D
believe in solid skies and slate blue earth below
                 A            E       A
but when you see him, you'll know

     A                                    E
it's okay to find the faith to saunter forward
           F#m                                   D
there's no fear of shadows spreading where you stand
                    A                             E
and you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you
        F#m                                        D
and the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land

         A  E              D
it gets okay to praise the day
            A             G                 D
believe in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath
                     A               E
but hear his breath come through his teeth
 
A

A    E   D
walk thy fate
     F#m     E           D
tell no one what you've seen
        A                                      E
it's so good to learn that from right here the view goes on forever
           F#m                               D
and you'll never want for comfort and you'll never be alone
         A                             E
see the sunset turning red, let all be quiet in your head
    F#m                  D
and look about, all the stars are coming out
      A  E              D
they shine like steel swords
        A   G        D
wish me well where i go
                 A           E       A
but when you see me, you'll know
