Capo: 1st fret
[Intro]
D G D A
D G D A
[Verse 1]
D
Sh-sh-shiver and put your hand in the river
Set the bottle afloat
G
Send the future a note
D
Tell yourself to be bold
A
Tell yourself to be bold
G
'Cause it's gonna get dark
A
And you're gonna lose sight
D
But the future is bright
For those who don't lose heart
[Pre-Chorus 1]
D G
So we might as well start 'cause we're falling apart
D
Yeah, we're falling apart
I'm a rose in a jar
I'm a rose in a jar
[Chorus]
G
I-I-I
Want to be alive
E
While I am alive
While I am alive
G
Oh, I-I
Want to feel the light
E
Color in my eyes
Bb A D G D
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
A D G D A
Oh, a fight for my life
[Verse 2]
D
River
A
Like a rippling mirror
D G
Is the child inside or did he run for his life
D
Did he run for his life when times were tough
G
When the light was lost?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Em A7
These nights are long but I'm holding on
[Chorus]
G
I-I-I
Want to be alive
E
While I am alive
While I am alive (I'm a rose in a jar, I'm a rose in a jar)
G
Oh, I-I
Want to feel the light
E
Color in my eyes
Bb A D G
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
D G
A fight to survive
D G
It's clearly a fight
D
A fight for my life
[Bridge]
Em
Oh, so fight for your life
Fight to the death
A
Fight to survive
G
Fight for the rest of the time you have left on this planet
No need to panic
A
Fight for the moment

These nights are long but I'm holding on
I want to be alive while I am alive
While I am alive
(I'm a rose in a jar, I'm a rose in a jar)
Oh I want to feel the light color in my eyes
So I can see clearly that this is all really a fight
A fight to survive
It's clearly a fight
A fight for my life
So fight for your life
Fight till the death
Fight to survive
Fight for the rest of the time you have left on this planet
No need to panic
Fight for the moment
