Misc Musicals – The Black Suits - Its All Good (Guitar)

G                          C
The first time I picked up a guitar

G                           C
Was at my cousin’s house on adams street

G                                 C          G      C
He was supposed to be watching me but he was stoned

G                              C          G
While he slept I went through all of his stuff

                                C            G
I found pills, and a gun, bit a beer, bit a snuff

                              C              G
But my favorite of all of the things that he owned

        E
Was his guitar

               E
I strummed the strings

          D
It made a noise

              G
And I put it down

                          C
The next time I picked up a guitar

G                     C
Was in music class in fifth grade

G                               C              G   C
And I practiced real hard and I practiced each day

G                                 C                 G
And I learned all the songs and I played them real well

                                    C        G
And I played them at concerts where everyone clapped

                                            C            G
And said “John, you’re the best,” “John, we love how you play”

    G
And I thought

D
Yeah, wow, this feels electric and

D
Shit, man, this is exciting and

G                                        C
Buzz, ring, this is better than anything else

D
Fill, run, nothing is missing and

B
Loud, crash, everyone’s happy

    Em       G         C         G
And I can do calculus, I can get girls

    C         G
And it’s all good

G                          C
The first time I grabbed a microphone

G                     C
Was when I was ten at summer camp

G                           C       G   C
I was nervous and nerdy and totally shy

G                     C
Then came the summer talent show

G                                C        G
And I sang on that stage and the people below

                                   C            G
They all cheered as I wailed “satisfaction” and I thought

D
Yeah, wow this is the real thing and

D
Whoa, like why am I so calm

G                                      C
Ahh, yeah this is better than anything else

D
Mmm, hot, acceptance, not nervous

B
Flow, cool, no one is yelling

Em         G           C         G
My acne is gone and my mom’s not divorced

    C          G
And it’s all good

              E
And when I am playing the guitar

              E
And when I am playing the bass

              D
And when I am playing the drums

             D
And when I’m singing

       G  C
It’s fun

        G C
It’s nice

         G C
It’s sweet

       G C
It’s real

     G C
Forget

           G C
What’s wrong

           G C
What’s right

          G
Is what I feel

    G
And it’s like

D
Fill, void, things that are broken are

D
Fixed, fine questions are answered and

G                                    C
I find it feels better than anything else

D
Scream, yell people will listen and

B
Love, live I’ll never leave

         Em         G           C   G
From the very first time that I played

         Em         G           C   G
From the very first time that I played

         Em         G           C           Em
From the very first time that I played with you

     C
It’s hasn’t all been perfect

              G
But it’s been better than anything else

          G
It’s been better than anything else

          G                    C
It’s been better than anything else

             G C G C G
And it’s all good
