[Verse 1]
D                   Bm    D             Em              G
There's holes in my shoes and there's a light inside of you
              D        Em G
I can't quite recognize
D             G                  Em              G
Cracks in the sidewalk, children swimming in the leaves
D                      Em G
I can't quite recognize

[Verse 2]
A                              G                  D
Oh, ya know, let's lay one low in the alley where we used to meet
A                                G                             D
Oh, ya know, let's take it slow. There's room to grow, there's room to grow
G               Em   D
There's room to grow

[Verse 3]
D
Oh little girl inside of me,
          Em                    G
I'm sorry for the things you've seen,
        D      Em G
My baby darling

[Verse 4]
D
Nothing hurts quite worse
              Em                G
Than when the ones you love the most
                 D         Em G
Can't stop their suffering

[Chorus]
A
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
          G                D
There's a light that takes away all fear.
A
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
     G          D
It's okay to be happy here.
     G          Em
It's okay to be happy!

[Verse 5]
G      D                  G
Are we born with pain and shame and greed
Em                         G
Are we meant to house such suffering?
        D              Em G
Tell me what you think.

[Verse 6]
D                     Bm       D
I think we're born to live and love
    Em                G
And count the endless stars above
D
While we're here.

[Chorus]
A
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
          G                D
There's a light that takes away all fear.
A
Oh, ya know, my darling dear,
     G          D
It's okay to be happy here.
     G          Em    G D
It's okay to be happy!
