G                    D#dim          Gm6
I see a man and he's waiting by the payphone
            G                       D#dim7          Gm6
To make his call to a girl, only know this 'cause I asked him
              G
Is she alone? (Is she alone?) Is she happy?
           D#dim          Gm6
Is she overseas doing business?
          G
He didn't care, he doesn't know her
       D#dim            Gm6                  G
He was randomly calling over asking if she's alive
                      D#dim                Gm6
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive...)
                G
I mean really alive
                      D#dim                Gm
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive...)

[Verse 2]

G                       D#dim       Gm6
I have a friend who's a poet and an artist
              G                           D#dim7                 Gm6
He spends his time writing songs, reading books, no need for the rat race
           G
He doesn't care about his hair
         D#dim              Gm6                  
Just his woman no need for a headache
             G
We'll have a laugh, have a smoke
                   D#dim                    Gm6                  
Discuss his marketability as the last great hope
                  G
I say man, he's alive
                      D#dim                Gm
(Alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive, alive...)

[Pre-Chorus]

    G                              D#dim7  Gm6
You don't know how much time you have left here, so spend it (come alive)

[Chorus]

G                       D#dim7          Gm6
Come alive
G                       D#dim7          Gm6
Wherever, whoever you are, come alive
