D - A - Em - G (2x)
Bm                  D
Lately I've been losin' sleep 
G                    D
Stayin' up with your memory 
Bm                   D                      A
All my friends say, "Hey, we're a little concerned" 
       Bm                D
But I got my wine and I got my smoke 
G                    D
And every letter you ever wrote 
Bm                     A          G
Tonight I'll light one up, let it burn 
Chorus: 
         D        A            Em
Cause I feel all right for the first time 
      G
In a long time 
       D        A                 Em
And I see the light now that I'm walkin' 
         G
In the sunshine 
       D          A              Em
I was singin' my song and it goes 
              G
Shan na na na na na na 
   D        A             Em
I feel all right for the first time 
      G
In a long time 
This morning I took a look outside 
And all the people passin' by 
Nobody noticed you were gone 
Put on my shoes, a different man 
Went to the docks where my ship came in 
I watched that tide rollin' on and on 
And on and on and on 
Chorus
Instrumental
Bm   D   G   Bm   A  G
D               A
It took a while for me to see 
Bm              G
What everybody knew but me 
D                A              G
And I don't care where you are tonight 
 
Chorus
   D      A     Em             G
I feel all right shan na na na na na na 
   D      A     Em             G
I see the light shan na na na na na na
         D              A         Em
For the first time in a long time
              G
Shan na na na na na na 
         D              A         Em
For the first time in a long time
              G         D    A   Em   G  
Shan na na na na na na
