[Verse 1]
G Em
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Am D
Blue skies always there behind the rain, rain
G Em
Oceans swallow all of our feelings
Am D
I know it's just temporary pain, pain
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause I used to make my world so small (Small)
Em
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
Am
I never thought that I'd get this right
D
But I finally know what it feels like
[Chorus]
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G G/F# F Em
To bе alive
[Instrumental]
G G/F# F Em
[Verse 2]
G Em
Darkness used to wrap its arms around me
Am D
I used to bring it with me everywhere, where
G
I swear that sometimes I get to be my worst enemy
Em
I swear this whole time, the answer's been right in front of me
Am
All of the beauty and love I could not see
D
I see it now, I see it now
[Pre-Chorus]
G
'Cause I used to make my world so small
Em
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
Am
I never thought that I'd get this right
D
But I finally know what it feels like
[Chorus]
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G G/F# F Em
To bе alive
[Instrumental]
G G/F# F Em
(3x)
[Outro]
G G/F# F Em
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
G G/F# F Em
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying
G G/F# F Em
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
G G/F# F Em
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Blue skies always there behind the rain, rain
Oceans swallow all of our feelings
I know it's just temporary pain, pain
'Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought that I'd get this right
But I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
Darkness used to wrap its arms around me
I used to bring it with me everywhere, where
I swear that sometimes I get to be my worst enemy
I swear this is all the time, the answers spin right in front of me
All of the beauty and love I cannot see
I see it now
I see it now
'Cause I used to make my world so small
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
I never thought that I'd get this right
But I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
To be alive
Open my eyes
Feels like the first time
That I finally know what it feels like
To be alive
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Flowers still look pretty when they're dying
Oh, flowers still look pretty when they're dying
