Am G Am GAm G Am G [Verse 1]Am G Like a spent gladiatorAm G Crawling in the Colosseum dustAm Who can count on his remainingG limbsAm All the people he can trustAm Like the one who stands behind himGAm G Cheering him onAm G Ecstatic when he stands defiantAm Wild with abandon when he's gone [Chorus]F Just stay aliveAm G Keep your eyes on the pay lineAm Am [Verse 2]Continúa después del anuncioAm G Like a village on the steppeAm G About to get collectivizedAm When the men emerge with riflesG from the haystackAm Everybody looks surprisedAm Like the mice in the forgottenG grainAm G Way up on the top shelfAm Like someone who's found a smallG town to escape toAm Keeps one eye on his abandoned, former self [Chorus 2]F Stay in the gameAm G Just try to play through the painF Like a fighter who's been told it'sAm G finally time for him to quitF Show up in shining coloursAm G And then stand there and get hitF F Am Am [Verse 3]Am Like the clock that ticks inG DresdenAm When the whole town's beenG destroyedAm G Like the nagging flash of insightAm You're always desperate to avoidAm G Like the bloody-knuckled gunmanAm G Still stationed at the breachAm Like that board game with theG slidersAm And the children on the beach [Chorus]F Stay aliveAm G Maybe spit blood at the cameraAm Just stay aliveAm G Stay forever alive
