[Chorus]
G
'Cause I'm alive

                 Dm
Doesn't mean I lived well

Just means I got back up every time that I fell

I've got the scrapes

I know the mistakes that it takes

With some distance memories get a bit clearer

'Cause I'm alive

                 Dm
Doesn't mean I lived well

Yeah, I realize I've got mine

Am             C           G
There must be better ways to make men

Am             C             G
Than the nonsense we did back then

I've got the scrapes

                Dm
The cuts and bruises

Am          C
I know the mistakes that it takes

          G
You're a fool if you choose this
