Intro: Em    D    C (2x)

Verse:
Em    D          C
I was born in a thunderstorm,
Em    D       C    Em         D
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
            C                Am
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
    Em       D             C
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
Em       D          C
like the love that comes with life
Em    D          C
I wore Ambien and I hated it,
          B
but I survived.

Pre  Chorus:
      Em                 D            C
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go,
           Em                   D                     C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    Em                        D             C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             B
but I'll survive.

Chorus:
            Em  D               C   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            Em  D               C   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive, 
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive, 
      G    D    Em    C
I'm alive, 
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive. 

Verse 2:
Em       D               C
 I found solace in the strangest place,
Em          D          C
 way in the back of my mind.
Em        D           C            B
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.

Pre  chorus:
      Em                 D           C
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go,
           Em                   D                     C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    Em                        D            C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             B
but I'll survive.

Chorus:
            Em  D               C   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            Em  D               C   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive, 
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive,

I'm alive, 
      Em    D    G    C
I'm alive.

Bridge:
Am
I had made every single mistake
  Em                 D
that you could ever possibly make.
  Am
I took and I took and I took what you gave
     Em                   D
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
   Am
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
Em                          D
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
   Am
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
   Em                  D  B
I know that's part of you.
