C#mG#mA
[Verse 1]
C#mG#mA
I was born in a thunderstorm
C#mG#mA
I grew up overnight
C#mG#mA
I played alone I played on my own
G#7
But I survived
Hey
C#mG#mA
I wanted everything I never had
C#mG#mA
Like the love that comes with light
C#mG#mA
I wore envy and I hated that
G#
But I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mG#mA
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
C#m
Where the wind don't change
G#mA
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
C#m
No hope, just lies
G#mA
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
G#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
C#mG#mA
I found solace in the strangest place
C#mG#mA
Way in the back of my mind
C#mG#mA
I saw my life in a stranger's face
G#7
And it was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
C#mG#mA
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
C#m
Where the wind don't change
G#mA
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
C#m
No hope, just lies
G#mA
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
G#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBE
I'm alive
A
Yeah
[Post-Chorus]
C#mB
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
EA
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#mB
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
EA
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#mB
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
EA
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#mB
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
EA
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
[Post-Chorus]
F#m
I have made every single mistake
C#mB
That you could ever possibly make
F#m
I took and I took and I took what you gave
C#mB
But you never noticed that I was in pain
F#m
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
C#mB
I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
F#m
I told you that I would never be forgotten
C#mBG#
And all in spite of you
[Chorus]
C#mEAC#m
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
C#mBEA
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
C#mB
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
EA
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
C#mB
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
EA
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
C#mB
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
EA
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
N.C.
I'm alive
[Outro]
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
C#mBEA
I'm alive
