It's so good to learn that right outside your window

        Gm                                D#      
There's only friendly fields and open roads

                 Bb                           F
And you'll sleep better when you think you've stepped back from the brink

    Gm                                      D#
And found some peace inside yourself, laid down your heavy load
[Chorus 1]
             Bb   Dm              D#
It gets all right   to dream at night

            Bb             G#                  D#
Believe in solid skies and slate-blue earth below

             Bb              F
But when you see him, you'll know
[Interlude] Bb Bb [Verse 2]
     Bb                                F
It's okay to find the faith to saunter forward 

        Gm                                       D#
With no fear of shadows spreading where you stand

                   Bb                           F
And you'll breathe easier just knowing that the worst is all behind you

        Gm                                        D#
And the waves that tossed the raft all night have set you on dry land
[Chorus 2]
          Bb  Dm               D#
It gets okay     to praise the day

           Bb                   G#                  D#       
Believe in sheltering skies and stable earth beneath

             Bb                      F
But hear his breath come through his teeth
[Bridge]
Bb   F  D#
Walk by faith

Tell no one what you've seen
[Verse 3]

It's so good to learn that from right here the view goes on forever

           Gm                                 D#
And you'll never want for comfort, and you'll never be alone

        Bb                             F
See the sunset turning red, let all be quiet in your head

Gm                       D#
  And look about—all the stars are coming out
[Chorus 3]
     Bb     Dm            D#
They shine     like steel swords

        Bb    G#         D#
Wish me well     where I go

             Bb             F
But when you see me, you'll know
[Outro] Bb F Gm D# Bb F Gm D# Bb
