Alive

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