A         F#m
When the night
       G               A
Comes falling in your eyes
And you rain your love of me
I feel your heartbeat
Beating next to mine
There's nothing more for me
Let it beat...

Chorus:
          A      G
When it's alright
     D
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
     Dm             A
But give my life to you

The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
When the morning
Comes dawning in your eyes
And you rain your love of me
While I am as helpless
As a cloud up in the sky
You push away my fears
And now you're here

Chorus:
And when it's alright
The feeling is so good
And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you

And when it's alright
I know my heart is understood
And when it's alright
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
And when it's alright
The feeling is so good
I know my heart is understood
There's nothing I can do
But give my life to you
