Its Alright I Understand

F               Em       Dm       C                    G
  Walk past the kids all skipping class, their nervous smiles and too loud laughs
F        Em        Dm       C             G
  A cigarette gets passed around the boys
   F        Em       Dm               C               G
 Celebrity becomes implied with their whitened teeth, Cheshire cat smiles
      F        Em            Dm         C     G
As all around me rushes to the noise
     F          Em          Dm         C             G
Of a holiday I cannot comprehend rolls slowly as the tram tracks bend
  F         Em      Dm         C     G
Around more choking hazard toys

        F                                       C
And the ocean laps dyed green under the footpath where the shore once stood proud
F                                 C
   But nobody's got time for that now

    Am         G             C
So I ask for directions even though I know exactly where I am
Am              G             F
    Just want someone to talk to
Am        G              C               F
   Someone to hold their hand against my hand
             Am          G
Say, "It's alright, I understand,"
             C           F
Say, "It's alright, I understand!"

F Em Dm C G (x2)

      F              Em          Dm     C              G
And I cannot judge and I cannot hide my coffee teeth and brand name smile
      F            Em              Dm      C            G
As I'm suckered in by the blinking lights, happy hours, pointless fights
        F           Em      Dm            C               G
And the taxes I can't comprehend, I don't know how much to tip
             F              Em            Dm             C        G
Or where the grand experiment goes to get fucked when it gets dark
         F             Em      Dm           C                      G
And I'm magically made to cooperate and the streets round here don't feel the same
   F                 Em        Dm        C                  G
As when I would have wanted to walk down every avenue arm in broken arm with you

F            C
   But now my pre-sunrise respite makes me even
F                     C
less of the right guy

      Am       G       C
And I'm happy here or I'm comfortable there
Am            G                F
  But I don't get to say that much
Am                G                C     F
  Thought it was another thing we gave up
    Am                       G
Yeah, yeah I thought it was another thing we'd given up

F                   G              Am                 G
 Like having friends, relationships and any chance of stay at home happiness
F           G            Am                G
 Remembering dollars and cents and knowing where the fuck I have slept
F                    G
 But I'd give it all up for a shot at this
Am                  G
  I wanna make everything, quit every bad
F                           G
habit that I'm in, Remember where I'm from and where I'm going
Am                      G
  And find something in me to provide self-esteem
    F                    G
Stop living day-to-day, night-to-night, dream-to-dream
        Am            G
I don't get anything from anything anymore
F        G
 I don't love anyone anymore
Am       G
 I don't love anyone anymore
F        G
 I don't love anyone anymore

    Am         G             C
So I ask for directions even though I know exactly where I am
Am              G             F
    Just want someone to talk to
Am        G              C               F
   Someone to hold their hand against my hand
             Am          G
Say, "It's alright, I understand,"
             C           F
Say, "It's alright, I understand!"
