The Kids Are Alright

C                       E
I wonder what the world before you 
looked like
  Am                F
I guess we'll never know (Yeah)
C                         
Losin' our minds, livin' on 
  E
borrowed time
       Am               F
But at least we got our phones


[Pre-Chorus]
                   C               
You tell me not to do as you do but
    E
 to do as you say
Am                          F
Sayin' it's no use with the youth 
these days
C                            
All these thoughts and prayers 
          E
feelin' so cliche
    Am               F
You got us here


[Chorus]
C       E           Am
You set fire to the house
          F
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
C       E             Am
Cut the brakes to the car
       F
Said, "Get in, you're learnin' to 
drive"
C        E                Am
Tied our hands behind our backs
            F
Called it a fair fight, it's fine
C               E
We're fine
    Am                    F
The kids are alright (The kids are 
alright, the kids are alright,

the kids are alright, the kids are 
alright)


[Post-Chorus]
C   E    Am
Oh-oh, oh-oh
    F
The kids are alright (The kids are 
alright)
Continues after the ad
C   E    Am
Oh-oh, oh-oh
    F
The kids are alright


[Verse 2]
C                            E
We'll build a tower with the bricks 
that you threw
    Am                 F
Oh, stack them, one by one (Yeah)
C                       E
Climb to the top and enjoy the view
             Am                F
You'll never see it, you’ll be gone


[Pre-Chorus]
                   C               
You tell me not to do as you do but
    E
 to do as you say
Am                          F
Sayin' it’s no use with the youth 
these days
C                            
All these thoughts and prayers 
          E
feelin' so cliche
    Am                F
You got us here


[Chorus]
C       E           Am
You set fire to the house
          F
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
C       E             Am
Cut the brakes to the car
       F
Said, "Get in, you're learnin' to 
drive"
C        E                Am
Tied our hands behind our backs
            F
Called it a fair fight, it's fine 
(It's fine)
C             E
We're fine (We're fine)
    Am                    F
The kids are alright (The kids are 
alright, the kids are alright,

the kids are alright, the kids are 
alright)


[Post-Chorus]
C   E    Am
Oh-oh, oh-oh
    F
The kids are alright (The kids are 
alright)
C   E    Am
Oh-oh, oh-oh
    F
The kids are alright


[Bridge]
     C          E
You grow up and gave up
     Am                F
Then fucked up, said, “Tough luck”
          C           E
Yeah, you grow up and gave up
     Am                F
Then fucked up, said, “Tough luck”

Yeah, you


[Chorus]
C       E           Am
You set fire to the house
          F
Tucked us in with a kiss goodnight
C       E             Am
Cut the brakes to the car
       F
Said, "Get in, you're learnin' to 
drive"
C        E                Am
Tied our hands behind our backs
            F
Called it a fair fight, it's fine 
(It's fine)
C            E
We're fine (We're fine)
     Am                   F
The kids are alright (The kids are 
alright, the kids are alright,
