Alive

Em G D


[Verse 1]

Em                                    G
i was sailing to find other stars in the ocean,
D
to find my face in their eyes.
Em                                        G
and my paper boat climbed all the way up to touch them,
D           Dm
to see them glow in the dark
Am                  Em      F                 Am         Em
to follow their stories, to let this beautiful lie come alive.


[Verse 2]

Em                                         G
they were peeking behind other walls in the skyline
D
and laughing from above
Em                                    G
and I played all my music to get them closer,
D          Dm
to hold them in my arms.
Am                  Em      F              Am         Em
but we don't get to see them, we don't get to see them around.


[Chorus]

F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   A
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down


[Verse 3]

Em                                    G
i was sailing to find other stars in the ocean,
D
to find my face in their eyes.
Em                                        G
and my paper boat climbed all the way up to touch them,
D           Dm
to see them glow in the dark
Am                  Em      F                 Am         Em
to follow their stories, to let this beautiful lie come alive.


[Chorus]

F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down


[Bridge]

Am
i want to see them alive
Dm
i want to see them alive
F
i want to see them alive


[Chorus]

F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
F                                   Am
but I know my words will bring them down
Em                                   D
but I know my words will bring them down
