It's so Bbgood to learn that right outside your wFindow
There's Gmonly friendly fields and open roadD#s
And you'll sleep Bbbetter when you think you've Fstepped back from the brink
And Gmfound some peace inside yourself, laid dD#own your heavy load

It gets all rBbight   Dmto dream at niD#ght
Believe in sBbolid skies and G#slate-blue earth belD#ow
But when you Bbsee him, you'll Fknow

It's Bbokay to find the faith to saunter Fforward 
With no Gmfear of shadows spreading where you standD#  
And you'll breathe Bbeasier just knowing that the Fworst is all behind you
And the Gmwaves that tossed the raft all night have D#set you on dry land
[Chorus 2]
It gets okBbay     Dmto praise the D#day
Believe in Bbsheltering skies and G#stable earth beneathD#  
But hear his Bbbreath come through his Fteeth
[Bridge]
BbWalk Fby D#faith
Tell Gmno one Bbwhat you've D#seen

It's so Bbgood to learn that from right here the Fview goes on forever
And you'll Gmnever want for comfort, and you'll D#never be alone
See the Bbsunset turning red, let all be Fquiet in your head
  GmAnd look about—all the D#stars are coming out

They Bbshine     Dmlike steel D#swords
Wish me Bbwell     G#where I D#go
But when you Bbsee me, you'll Fknow
