Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

[Verse 1]
                 Em           D            G             Cadd9
I remember being twelve years old, growing up as good as gold
      Em                 D                        G                Cadd9
And I stopped seeing you around, you were getting high and falling down
           Em                 D                G                     Cadd9
I remember being young on the flats we dreamed to leave and never come back
            Em                    D                  G               Cadd9
I looked at you like you’d never die, cause you were tougher than the pines.

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
          D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

[Verse 2]
        Em                D                G             Cadd9
We were barefoot in those hills, we played war and not got killed
         Em               D              G                Cadd9
Then we'd laugh out in the grass, to damn young to ruin our past
      Em                   D                G                        Cadd9
And I left town for a long while, came back down and walked a gravel mile
        Em               D                 G                         Cadd9
Just to see how you were doing, Trees were burned and the flats were ruined

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                  Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                  Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

[Bridge]
                       Em                                   D
You were crying in the driveway, telling me you’d gone the wrong way
          G                                     Cadd9
That this life had cut you down, and you were glad I was back in town (X2)

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                  Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                  Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
