It's Good to Know

[G] [C]

You Could Take this for granted
or you could take so hard
nothing's ever forgotten
that you write on your arm
like a long list of groceries
or errands to run
you feel so accomplished
check them off one by one

and the shopping cart's swerving
from a wobbly wheel
just a very small thing
makes it so hard to steer
and under hot-running water
see your day disappear

if you don't know they're coming
it get hard to go on
but it makes you glad you decided
to be alive
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things will arrive

am i beating a live horse
is this the wrong way
to stop things from moving
to stop all the neighs

you should meet me in london
With a bright goes gray
And the little birds dance
at the side of the lake

they can keep you from leaving,
though they haven't arrived
just the thought is enough
to keep you alive

it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things
it's good to know when good things will arrive
