D I picture us together C G Framed in gold leaf D On the mantle with the others C G One big happy family Bm But that snapshot can't be found C G And I don't trust my memory Chorus: C G But it's alright it's alright D For a dream I imagine we are gathered But this time not dressed in black There's laughing and smiling Not stabbing in the back But it's too good to be true And too bad I still recall the screams Chorus I keep half the picture Mostly in my mind Mama dressed in white Ripped when she held your hand Showing no signs of age Just slightly frayed along the seam Chorus Bm It's alright G All that I can claim D It's alright A And it will have to do It's alright Better than the pain It's alright Better than the truth It's alright Alright for a dream It's alright Better than fate and the grand scheme Em It's alright G It's alright For Christmas and for New Year I wish and I resolve But I'm disappointed by myself, Jesus and Santa Claus I want to believe She's been saved And he's be redeemed Chorus: And it's alright it's alright For a dream You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  D  Em  G  Bm  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
