E
[Verse 1]
D A E
Sometimes I get worried
D A E
Thinking about what each new day will bring
D A E
All the world is hassled hurt or hurried
D A E
There's never time to ease the painful things
D A E
Never time to think on where you're going or where you've been
[Chorus]
F#m B E
You can tell them I'm going home
F#m B E
Or that I'm working late at night
C#m B
No point writing letters
A E
Or using the telephone
C#m B A
Tell them anything that you might
C#m B A E
Be sure and tell them I'll be alright
[Verse 2]
D A E
City streets on grey mean mornings
D A E
Make a young man want to cry for help
D A E
Who can he trust to give out warnings like that
D A E
When he's nine points sure He just can't help himself
D A E
Its got to come from the inside not from somebody else
[Chorus 2]
F#m B E
You can tell them I'm living in the country
F#m B E
Or that I've given up the fight
C#m B A E
No point in saying how well you knew me before
C#m B A E
No point in giving reasons of last night
C#m B A E
Be sure and tell them I'll be alright
[Verse 3]
D A E
And when my love comes whispering softly
D A E
With all the sweetness she can bring
D
That is when I'm real
A E
And mostly that's the time
D
I feel no need to give out anything
A E
That is when I know just what to sing
[Chorus 3]
F#m B E
You can tell them I'm living in the islands
F#m B E
Somewhere where the day is always bright
C#m B A E
No need to visit England, Germany or Spain
C#m B A E
Wont find me anywhere that things are tight
C#m B A E
Just be sure and tell them I'll be alright
C#m B A E
I'm going back I'll be alright
C#m B A E
Going home And I'll be alright
