Verse 

G 
Done pretty good now babe 
G                                      C 
Keepin' the lights on this last little while 
       D 
Nobody trying' to hunt us down for somethin' we done wrong 
                     G 
Got no reason not to smile 


Verse 

    G  
The sun come up every mornin' 
                             C 
Even when it's too cloudy to see 
      D 
I was willin' to lose that years ago 
                                    G 
Don't know what was the matter with me 


                   C 
Baby we're alright now 
              G 
Gotta love so strong

Even when it's wrong 


Verse 

                       G 
A little gratitude now babe 
                            C 
It sure can go a long, long way 
      D                  
Feels good like eatin' ice cream 
                                    G 
So I try to have a little bit every day

G 
A lot of heavy liftin' 
                  C 
Bein' done on our behalf

Didn't earn it, didn't deserve it 
                       G 
We didn't even have to ask 


                  C 
And we're alright now 
      G 
Gotta love so strong 
                   D 
Baby we're alright now

Even when it's wrong

So won't you stay with me tonight 
                                   G 
We'll cry some tears and sing some songs 
                   D

All those bad old days are gone

All those bad old days are gone
