I've loved this song for a while and wanted a very easy non capo version to play. So here it is. Standard
finger picking all the way through and the whole song just repeats two sets of chords.
(Feat. Dave Matthews)
E Gm A Am
So damn easy to say that life's so hard
E Gm A Am
Everybody's got their share of battle scars
E Gm A Am E Gm A Am(strum)
As for me, I'd like to thank my lucky stars that I'm alive and well...
E Gm A Am
It'd be easy to add up all the pain
E Gm A Am
And all the dreams you sat and watched go up in flames
E Gm A Am
Dwell on the wreckage as it smolders in the rain
E Gm A Am (strum)
But not me... I'm alive
[Chorus:]
C#m B F#m Gm
And today you know that's good enough for me
C#m B F#m Gm
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can't you see
C#m B F#m Gm E
Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
Gm A Am E Gm A Am
And well... I'm alive and well
E Gm A Am
The stars are dancin' on the water here tonight
E Gm A Am
It's good for the soul when there's not a soul in sight
E Gm A Am E Gm A Am
This boat has caught it's wind and brought me back to life now I'm alive and well
[Chorus:]
C#m B F#m Gm
And today you know that's good enough for me
C#m B F#m Gm
Breathin' in and out's a blessing can't you see
C#m B F#m Gm E
Today's the first day of the rest of my life and I'm alive
Gm A Am E Gm A Am
And well... I'm alive and well
