[Intro]
C G C G

[Verse 1]
         C
Same old same
        G
Nothing new
           C
It’s not a lie but
                      G
it’s a mile from the truth

[Verse 2]
              C
How would you know
              G
How could you tell
         C
When I’m laughing more
              G
than anybody else

[Pre-Chorus]
            Am    D
It could be har-der
            Am    D7
It could be wor-se

[Chorus]
    G           D
I’m fine, I’m alright
     G        D C
Just cracking on
        C
Yeah my world’s
         D
 falling apart
And I’m finding
         G
life so hard
         C
But I’ll tell you once
 D         G
 again I’m alright

[Verse 3]
         C
I should leave
         G
I better go
          C
Cos I’m uncomfortable
               G
 and everybody knows

[Verse 4]
            C
except they don’t
               G
How could they care
        C
I wanna scream I wanna
                 G
 cry but I don’t dare

[Pre-Chorus]
            Am    D
It could be har-der
            Am    D7
It could be wor-se

[Chorus]
    G           D
I’m fine, I’m alright
     G        D C
Just cracking on
        C
Yeah my world’s
         D
falling apart
                        G
And I’m finding life so hard
         C
But I’ll tell you
      D         G
 once again I’m alright

[Outro]
           C               D
And you’re there with opеn arms
                      G
But I still put up my guard
     C             D
as I tell you once again
     G
 I’m alright
         C                D
We’re so close and yet so far
                        G
And I’m breaking my own heart
       C             D
When I tell you once again
      G
 I’m alright
           C               D
And you’re there with open arms
                      G
But I still put up my guard
      C             D
as I tell you once again
           G7       E
 when you ask me I pretend
       C             D
Yes I’ll tell you once again
    G
I’m alright

How to play Alright: key, chords and progression

These are Alright chords by Martin Luke Brown on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard.

Alright by Martin Luke Brown is written in G major (one sharp: F♯) and moves through 7 chords: C, G, Am, D, D7, G7 and E.

Listen for C – D – G – C (IV – V – I – IV in G major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is fah – soh – doh – fah. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Beginner-friendly: every chord is an open chord on guitar, so you can play it without a capo or barre chords.
