Intro: F# B F# B

Verse 1
	         F# 
Are you disappointed?  Is this world a let down?
	     B 
With your head in the clouds its time to get down
F# 
Head on collision crushed by dreams 
	B 
So we leave our hearts at the accident scene
F# 					  B 
Shattered, pieces scattered who told us it was ok 

To allow our thoughts to be flattered 
       F# 
And entertained with ideas that can�t sustain 
   B
A future once so confidently proclaimed 
     F#
So where to you go from here when it all disappears 
      B
Apathy dries your tears until you don�t care or you 
F#
Live and die occupied with 
      B
Disclaimers and reasons as to why 
F#
Realize life isn�t lived in fantasies 
B
No matter how much planning or strategy
F#				  B
Joy comes along with tragedy.  I won them all gladly

Chorus
B			    F#
I�m alright.  I�m okay.  I kind of like doing things this way.
B					   C#
All I have is what God gives and that�s all the life that I was meant to live

Verse 2
F#			    	    B
We�re not taught trial and error.  We�re not taught nor are we prepared 
	F#
So we fail against everyday opponents
	  B
All the while we�re still living for glorious moments
	   F#
And the media feeds the youth a false reality 
B
Of what it takes to make yourself happy 
F#
And since they�ve got about a one in a billion shot 
B
Why try and make them think its something its not
F#
No this ain�t no movie, this real life 
	   B
The spot light don�t shine quite as bright as some might like 
       F#
But that�s alright cos the starlight at night is 
B
More of a highlight than the high life
       F#							
The air I consume from the breath of creation 
B
Renews my soul everyday I awake and 
F#					   B
Ah man, tell me who knew that simply being content was the dream come true

Chorus
B			    F#
I�m alright.  I�m okay.  I kind of like doing things this way.
B					   C#
All I have is what God gives and that�s all the life that I was meant to live

(play this to finish)

This is almost completely F# and B.  Easy enough.  Just bar the second fret the whole
time exept in the chorus when you play the C#, then just move the bar up 2 frets and
play the same B shape.  You need these bar chords to get the album sound, but not
necessarily to make it sound good.  So you can move this up a half a step and play it
in G:  F# � G, B � C, and C# � D.  It�s no problem.  I don�t recommend capoing the
fourth fret and playing in D though.  It really misses that way.
