Verse 1:
  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
       C             G
It's alright, it's alright
      D
For a dream

Verse 2:
   D
I imagine we are gathered
         C                   G
But this time not dressed in black
        D
There's laughing and smiling
    C               G
Not stabbing in the back
         Bm
But it's too good to be true
        C                      G
And too bad I still recall the screams
           C             G
But it's alright, it's alright
      D
For a dream


Verse 3:
D
I keep half the pictures
C            G
Mostly in my mind
D
Mama dressed in white
       C                   G
Ripped where she held your hand
    Bm
Showing no signs of age
              C                G
Just slightly frayed along the seam
           C             G
But it's alright, it's alright
      D
For a dream


Bridge:
       Bm
It's alright
G
All that I can claim
       D
It's alright
    A
And it will have to do
       Bm
It's alright
G
Better than the pain
       D
It's alright
A
Better than the truth
       Bm
It's alright
G
Alright for a dream
       D
It's alright
A
Better than fate and the great scheme
       Em
It's alright
       G
It's alright


Verse 4:
    D
For Christmas and for New Year
  C            G
I wish and I resolve
        D
But I'm disappointed by myself
  C             G
Jesus and Santa Claus
  Bm
I want to believe
           C                     G
She's been saved and he's been redeemed
           C N.C.        G N.C.
And it's alright, it's alright
      D N.C.
