Verse 1
G           Am              C 
  Drinking alone outside of town at night 
        G             Am      Bm   Em 
Staring out trying to tune in to a ghost 
     C                 G 
It's all become static now 
                Am                 C 
When everything good burns out and fades away 
           G             Am      Bm       Em 
Leaves the dust all the ash and all the smoke 
C 
Got so 
 
Refrain 1
D              Em 
Close but it's raining 
        C 
like it always does 
           D           Em 
Fills the sky tired of waiting 
      C                    D 
here alone in this wayward life 
D 
How much shit can one kid 
Em     C              D 
take before he's had enough 
D 
Every street light burst to 
Em         C 
light make dead eyes open up 
 
Chorus 1
G                             C 
  Walk the shoreline try and stop this rust 
     D                       C 
Feel so disconnected all the time 
G                         C 
  So afraid this might be all there is 
    D                          C 
How long does it take to feel alive? 
C             G   Am C G Am Bm Em C 
Take to feel alive 
 
Verse 2
G              Am                 C 
  Swing at the wind that blew the hope away 
         G                Am     Bm     Em 
Left you here waiting to stare into the sun 
C                   G 
See if it burns you down 
          Am           C 
See if it softens everything too hard 
          G            Am        Bm      Em 
Lights it up and maybe something good'll come 
C 
Gets so 
 
Refrain 2
D              Em 
Close but it's raining 
        C 
like it always does 
           D           Em 
Fills the sky tired of waiting 
      C                    D 
here alone in this wayward life 
D 
How much shit can one kid 
Em     C              D 
take before he's had enough 
D 
Every street light burst to 
Em         C 
light make dead eyes open up

  So afraid this might be all there is 
    D                          C 
How long does it take to feel alive? 
C             G   Am C G Am Bm Em C 
Take to feel alive
