Alive

|Emaj7 |D#m   |G#m   |Bmaj7 |


[Verse 1]
Emaj7
  Unread texts and missed calls
D#m
  Told everyone I turned my phone off
G#m                                 Bmaj7
  Didn't ask for help and now I'm lost
Emaj7
  Life comes in phases
D#m
  Consequences and mistakes
G#m                                 Bmaj7
  I'm sorry that it's taken me so long


[Pre-chorus 1]
Emaj7                               D#m
Mister, mister, please let off your power
                G#m                    Bmaj7
Give me half an hour, or better yet, a few
Emaj7                        D#m
Only sweet until it all goes sour
                     G#m                               Bmaj7
But life is what you make it, and then there's more to lose


[Chorus]
E                      F#
  Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?
B                D#m/A#        G#m
Lately I've been living out of spite
E                   F#
  Grim reaper, just give me one more night
  B              D#m/A#          G#m
I need another chance to say goodbye
Em                                 B     Bmaj7
  I shouldn't have to die to feel alive


[Verse 2]
Emaj7
  Here's the thing with disappearing
D#m
  You can yell and no one hears ya
G#m                         Bmaj7
  Times like this, I need a ear
   Emaj7
When I finally have so much to say
     D#m
Wish I could see your face, oh
G#m                               Bmaj7
  And do what I have to stop the tears


[Pre-chorus 2]
Emaj7                                D#m
Sister, sister, please know that I'm sorry
                     G#m                            Bmaj7
I wish you could've stopped me from falling off the hill
Emaj7                        D#m
Only sweet until it all goes sour
                    G#m                       Bmaj7
My path is what you make it until it gets too real


[Chorus]
E                      F#
  Gate keeper, can you show me more to life?
B                D#m/A#        G#m
Lately I've been living out of spite
E                   F#
  Grim reaper, just give me one more night
  B              D#m/A#          G#m
I need another chance to say goodbye
Em
  I shouldn't have to die to feel alive
