Good to Be Alive Today

Good to Be Alive Today: Chords

Intro:
SOLm    SIb    FA

                 DO
It's a long road, oh
SOLm
 Everyday I wake up and turn my phone on
SIb
 I read the news of the day, 

just as it's coming down
FA
 I do my best not to let it get me down
DO
 I try to keep my head up, but is Babylon
SOLm
 This world's in crisis, we try to fight it, 
                     SIb
this changing climate

The scientists and politicians divided by it
FA
 So many ways we could solve it 
                            DO
but they would never sign it

This mountains tumbling down, 

but still we try to climb it
SOLm
 It's in the Torah, Quran and in the Bible
SIb
 Love is the message for some how we turn to rivals
FA
 It's come to people always picking up their rifles
DO
 Another school getting shot up; homicidal

SIb
 Some people tryna look fly, 
                        REm
some people tryna get high
                        
Some people losing their mind, 
                      FA
some people tryna get by

And when you look in my eyes, 
                        DO
you see the sign of the times
                          
We all looking for the same thing
            SOLm
But what if this song's number one
         SIb
Would it mean that love had won?
         FA 
Would it mean that the world was saved?
       DO
And no guns are being drawn today?
        SOLm
What if everybody had a job?
      SIb
And nobody had to break a law?
        FA                 DO
What if everyone could say

                             SOLm7
That it's good to be alive today?
             SIb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
                         FA
Is it good to be alive today?
         DO
Oh, oh, oh
                         SOLm7
Is it good to be alive today?
            SIb
Oh, oh, oh, oh
                         FA
Is it good to be alive today?
        DO
Oh, oh, oh


No matter what nobody say
       SOLm
People used to feel safer 

when they would hear a siren
SIb
 Like help is on its way 
                              FA
but now they only think of violence

Another youth in the streets 
                      DO
and police is in a conflict

And now they hear the guns click, yo
SOLm
 Ebola crisis and ISIS is taking heads off
SIb
 A drone is bombing a village and now the kids all
FA
 Signing up to be soldiers, 
                         DO
but they all willing now

To do the killing now, now are you willing now?
SOLm
 Some politicians out there making up some problems
SIb
 And tryna tell the people that they can solve them
     FA
With TV shows and soundbites and quotes
    DO
But everybody knows that 
                          SOLm
it's all about the cash flow

They telling you and me, they're making progress
    SIb
But tell it to the millions of jobless
FA
 It's like a players club with billions of dollars
DO
 To get the votes you got 
                           SIb
to make it rain in congress

Some people tryna look fly, 
                      REm
some people tryna get high

Some people losing their mind, 
                      FA
some people tryna get by

And when you look in my eyes, 
                        DO
you see the sign of the times

We all looking for the same thing
         SOLm
But what if this song's number one
         SIb
Would it mean that love had won?
         FA
Would it mean that the world was saved?
       DO
And no guns are being drawn today?
        SOLm
What if everybody had a job?
      SIb
And nobody had to break a law?
        FA                 DO
