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 wore Ambien and I hated it, 
          C# 
but I survived. 

Pre-Chorus 
      F#m                 E            D 
I had wanted to go 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. 

 
            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 2: 
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 wanted to go 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. 


            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

      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.

Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,

I know that's part of you.
