Slowly learning that life is OK.
Say after me
It's no better to be safe than sorry

Verse is: G/A/D/G G/A/D/G G/A/Bm/A
I'm not really sure of the chorus. It may be because I'm playing the
verse in the wrong key because I have the chords wrong for the chorus.
For the chorus, you can get away with E/G#/A
I'd say the whole thing could use some work, so feel free to chip in.
