Alive (video)

Am - Em - F (2x)

Am Em F - Am Em F

1. I was born in a thunderstorm, I grew up overnight,

Am Em F E

I played alone, I played on my own, but I survived. Hey !

Am Em F - Am Em F

2. I wanted everything I never had like the love that comes with light,

Am Em F E

I wore envy and I hated that, but I survived.

Am Em F

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

Am Em F

where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow.

Am Em F E

No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry in your pillow, but I survived.

Am D

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

Am D

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing !

3. I found solace in the strangest place, way in the back of my mind,

Am Em F - E

I saw my life in a stranger's face, and it was mine.

Am Em F

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

Am Em F

where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow.

Am Em F E

No hope, just lies, and you're taught to cry in your pillow, but I survived.

Am D

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

Am D

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing !

Am Em

that you could ever possibly make.

Am Em

I took, and I took, and I took what you gave,

Am Em

but you never noticed that I was in pain.

Dm F

I knew what I wanted, I went out and got it,

Am Em

I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't.

I told you that I would never be forgotten and all in spite of yo………u.
