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.
[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,
    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 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 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,

I'm alive,

I'm alive.

that you could ever possibly make.

I know that's part of you.
