Alive

[Intro]
F#m   C#m   D 
(x2)
 
 
[Verse]
 
F#m     C#m         D
  I was born in a thunderstorm,
F#m     C#m       D
  I grew up overnight,
F#m          C#m             D
  I played alone, I'm playing on my own,
         Bm
 I survived.
 
    F#m       C#m             D
Hey,  I wanted everything I never had,
F#m       C#m          D
   like the love that comes with life
F#m     C#m         D
  I wore envy and I hated that,
          C#
but I survived.
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
      F#m                 C#m            D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
           F#m                   C#m                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    F#m                        C#m             D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             C#
but I'll survive.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m  A               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m  A               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F#m       C#m              D
  I found solace in the strangest place,
F#m          C#m            D
  way in the back of my mind.
F#m      C#m           D
  I saw my life in a stranger's face...
C#
   ...and it was mine.

      F#m                 C#m              D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
           F#m                   C#m                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    F#m                        C#m            D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             C#

[Chorus]
 
            F#m  A               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m  A               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.

[Bridge]
 
Bm
I had made every single mistake
F#m                  E
that you could ever possibly make.
  Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
     F#m                   E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
   Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
F#m                          E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
   Bm
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
   F#m                E     C#
And all in spite of you
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m   A              D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m   A              D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
       (You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
 
I'm alive - - - - - - -!!!
 
[Outro]
 
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.
