[Intro] C#m G#m A [Verse 1]
C#m    G#m      A
I was born in a thunderstorm

C#m    G#m      A
I grew up overnight

C#m       G#m          A
I played alone I played on my own

        G#7
But I survived
Hey
C#m       G#m      A
I wanted everything I never had

C#m        G#m      A
Like the love that comes with light

C#m     G#m        A
I wore envy and I hated that

         G#
But I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m              G#m               A
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go

          C#m
Where the wind don't change

     G#m                   A
And nothing in the ground can ever grow

     C#m
No hope, just lies

             G#m                  A
And you're taught to cry into your pillow

     G#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
           C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E A
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
C#m       G#m           A
I found solace in the strangest place

C#m          G#m      A
Way in the back of my mind

C#m         G#m             A
I saw my life in a stranger's face

      G#7
And it was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m              G#m               A
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go

          C#m
Where the wind don't change

     G#m                   A
And nothing in the ground can ever grow

     C#m
No hope, just lies

             G#m                  A
And you're taught to cry into your pillow

     G#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
           C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E A
I'm alive

      C#m B E
I'm alive

A
Yeah
[Post-Chorus]
C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
[Post-Chorus]
F#m
I have made every single mistake

C#m                      B
That you could ever possibly make

F#m
I took and I took and I took what you gave

C#m                        B
But you never noticed that I was in pain

F#m
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it

C#m                            B
I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't

F#m
I told you that I would never be forgotten

C#m            B       G#
And all in spite of you
[Chorus]
                 C#m  E              A  C#m
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing

            C#m  B                E   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing

      C#m                             B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)

E                          A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)

C#m                                  B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)

E                           A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)

C#m                               B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)

 E                          A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
