Verse 1
Loop: G | Bm | Em | C
News is loud and my phone won’t quit
Everybody’s mad ’bout everything
I ain’t fixin’ that, I ain’t that guy
I’m just tryna make it through tonight
Pre / Breath
Loop: G | Bm | Em | C
So I take one breath, one heartbeat
Let the room spin, let the world talk
I got a six-string and a backbeat
That’s enough to keep my head on straight
Chorus
Loop: Em | C | G | D
I can’t carry the whole damn storm
But I can light up my little porch
Turn the dial from doom to sound
Let the good stuff drown it out
Hook / Refrain
Loop: confirm progression
So I turn it up, keep it sweet
Let the bassline carry me
If it’s all goin’ to hell
That’s alright tonight
Tag
Loop: G | Bm | Em | C
Throw a laugh in the firelight
Shake it off, let it slide
Ain’t savin’ the world, but
We’re alright tonight
Verse 2
Loop: G | Bm | Em | C
Headline circus, same old show
Everybody sellin’ fear for gold
I don’t need another “pick a side”
I need a reason just to feel alive
Verse 2B
Loop: G | Bm | Em | C
I got a girl with a candy grin
Calls me back when the spiral wins
One little taste and the edge gets soft
Like “hey, you’re here, don’t write it off”
Bridge
Lift feel: G | D/F# | Em | C
I can’t fix the broken feed
But I can choose what lives in me
So I strum that open G
Let it hit like therapy
Build
Lift / rebuild
Cut the lights, kill the noise
Let the silence make a choice
One more mile, one more song
We’ve been bruised but we’re not gone
Final Chorus
Loop: confirm final progression
Hand to heart, feet to ground
Turn that chaos into sound
When it feels like nothin’ fits
I just sing into the grit
Ain’t savin’ the world, but
We’re alright tonight
ALRIGHT TONIGHT!
Outro
Loop or vamp out
Keep it sweet, keep it sweet
If it’s goin’ to hell
That’s alright tonight

So I turn it up, keep it sweet
and the final chorus return.
