Jars of Clay
I?m Alright
?If I Left the Zoo?
NOTES ABOUT SONG: This is an interesting song for Jars of Clay because
there?s not an awesome acoustic guitar part and the electric parts are
subdued and scattered in the background. The one instrumental solo in the
song is, surprisingly, played by Charlie on a Wurlitzer piano.
VERSE ONE:
It was the fear of God that led me to you
And it?s the fear of you that takes getting used
to
I?ve never been one to hang my heart on a thread
But you spun me around and you loved me instead
VERSE TWO:
I knew I could turn to something other than you
?Cause I don?t understand you and why you?re
after me
I?ve never been the saint you wanted me to turn to
And I can?t see the view from the eyes you look
at me through, oh no
CHORUS
I?m alright, I?m alright
I?m alright, I?m alright
I?m alright, I?m alright
I?m alright
VERSE THREE
So cut below the surface and try hard not to
notice
That I could be so foolish thinking I?m alright
I?ve got no one to hold me, I?ve got no one to
carry
Everything inside of me that I won?t let you see
CHORUS
BRIDGE
