D Jesse James got it all wrong It’s not about your swan song G You gotta live like the day will never end Bm You gotta live and never pretend D Genghis Khan was not the only one To try and rule the world from his home phone G That’s no way to be a real guy Bm She tries to tell me all the time Chorus: G A Bm A And as the music plays we’re flying through the air G Living without a care A Bm E City sunset, city, city sunset G We’re flying through the air A D ’Cause everything is gonna be alright G Bm ‘Cause everything is gonna be alright. And I don't care where I came from A lucky nail with my name on I coulda been something special, something brighter At least I know, I know I'm a fighters Dharma bums still getting high And city boys always wondering why Two lovers on the outside If you got love, you don't have to hide Chorus ’Cause everything is gonna be alright Right You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  D  E  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
