Am7/G 302010 D/F# 2x0232 Em/G 322000 [Intro] | Am | [Verse 1]
        Am            E       F
When my heart doesn't beat anymore

       C      E   Am
And my body's cold

         Am               E            F
You will walk, dressed in black, to my door

        C          E   Am
And the bells will toll
[Pre-Chorus]
           Am                Em/G
You use my love like an open vein

                             F
Just when I thought it would heal

         Esus4
Back you came
[Chorus]
E                              Am
Seeing you again for the first time

                           Am7/G
Tryna look ahead and not behind

                             F
Raging as you do against the tide

                                 Dm
Knowing that your his instead of mine

                            Am
Getting used to being hurt again

                          Am7/G
Every day's closer to the end

                                 D/F#
Holding back the tears I need to cry

                             F
Waiting to breathe for the last time

                                 Am   Am7/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive

Dm                         Am   Am7/G F Dm
That's how it feels to be alive
[Verse 2]
      Am              E            F
At my grave, they did say one last verse

          C        E        Am
'Bout the new love that you found

      Am         E           F
And I lay in the rain by the church

         C          E      Am
And they lured me into the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
             Am                 Em/G
You stole my heart as your souvenir

                                  F
Thought that you would never come back

               Esus4
But now you're here
[Chorus]
E                              Am
Seeing you again for the first time

                           Am7/G
Tryna look ahead and not behind

                             F
Raging as you do against the tide

                                 Dm
Knowing that your his instead of mine

                            Am
Getting used to being hurt again

                          Am7/G
Every day's closer to the end

                                 D/F#
Holding back the tears I need to cry

                                F
Waiting to breathe for the last time

                                 Am   Am7/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive

      Dm                         Am   Am7/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive

      Dm                         Am
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
[Outro]
         Am7/G                F
(Outside waiting in the cold again)
(I'm outside waiting to be held again)
      Dm                         Am
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive

         Am7/G               F
(Outside standing on my own again)

Dm                         Am
That's how it feels to be alive
