[Intro]
G  Bm  Bmb5  Em7

[Verse 1]
                  G
I still avoid medication
                     Bm
I'd rather take a vacation
                        Bmb5
Drive around all of the outlets
                       Em7
Buy things and later regret it
                          G
Spend the whole week in Hawaii
                      Bm
Fall asleep under the palm trees
                       Bmb5
Down a whole bottle of whiskey
                        Em7
Countin' the people who hate me

[Chorus]
        G            Bm
I don't know if I'll be alright
Bmb5         Em7               C
What will it take to make this good?
C                           G   Bm
Oh, someone tell me it gets better,
Bmb5    Em7     C
better, better, better
C/G    Am7/G  Cm/Eb
Because for tonight,
G/D                 G
I'm just not alright

[Verse 2]
                       G
What if I drove to you backwards?
                        Bm
Jump in the shallow end headfirst
                  Bmb5
Burn my emergency contact
                          Em7
Run for the hills when it gets bad
                     G
What if I never move out?
                            Bm
I'd live in the basement my whole
life
                        Bmb5
I got the chills when I said that
                     Em7
I never thought of a fallback

How to play Alright: key, chords and progression

These are the chords for Alright by Gracie Abrams on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard

Alright by Gracie Abrams is built around C major (no sharps or flats), with 9 chords in all: G, Bm, Bmb5, Em7, C, C/G, Am7/G, Cm/Eb and G/D.

Most of the song cycles through G – Bm – Bmb5 – Em7 (V – vii – vii – iii7 in C major). In solfa, that is soh – te – te – mi. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.

Good to know: Bm, Bmb5 and Cm/Eb are played as barre or movable shapes on guitar. Practise the change into them slowly; on piano and ukulele the same chords are easier.
