Reach Out Richard Lyrics & Chords By Mayer Hawthorne

Richard hello, I know it’s 4 am on New Year’s Day
I never made it home last night, alright
A minor so they dropped the charge and I’ll be out today
I know that that won’t make it right
It’s never black and white but

Richard, you told me all I need to know
But there’s some things you can’t prepare for
All I ever want to do
Is be as good a man as you

[Chorus]
So don’t you be concerned
(the kid is alright)
I’ve got to live and learn
(the kid’s alright)
I know that you will see
(the kid’s alright)
I’ll find my way eventually

Richard your tears fall on the wheel as you wipe them away
I’ve never seen you so far gone... along
The snow is tumbling as you wonder what you didn’t say
When I’m the one who got it wrong
I try to keep you calm, ’cause

Richard you showed me what was wrong and right
But now I gotta live my own life
I will fall along the way
But I’ll remember what you say

[Chorus]
Woah woah, reach out Richard
Woah woah, reach out
Woah woah, reach out Richard
Woah woah, reach out

Woah woah reach out Richard
I know you see yourself inside my eyes
Woah woah reach out
Richard don’t worry cause the kid’s alright
Woah woah reach out
I gotta live and learn

Richard you barely made it out of school
Well look at everything you’ve been through
Apples fall right from the tree
As long as you are here for me

I'll never be concerned
(the kid's alright)
I’ve got to live and learn
(the kid’s alright)
I know that you will see
(the kid’s alright)
I’ll find my way eventually
[Chorus]

The kid's alright
The kid's alright
