Chording by Joram [Verse 1]
     D                         Bm
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume 

                   A
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own 

  G
I don't know if I'm home 

           D
Or if I've lost my way into your room 

    Bm
I'm spiraling into my doom 
[Pre-Chorus]
    A                             G
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day 

                  A
You and I will be free

   Bm                             D
To live and die by our own rules, free

   G
Despite the fact that men are fools
[Chorus]
D            G                      Bm
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 

    A
And save me

      D              G
It's okay that we're dying

                  Bm      A        G
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
[Interlude] D Bm A G [Verse 2]
        D   
Well excuse me while I get killed softly

            Bm                    A
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay 

   G
At least 'til yesterday

             D
You know you got me off my highest guard, 

  Bm
Believe me when I say it's hard 
[Pre-Chorus]
      A
We'll get through this tonight 

           G                         A
And I know one day you and I will be free 

   Bm                             D
To live and die by our own rules, free

   G
Despite the fact that men are fools
[Chorus]
D            G                      Bm
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 

    A
And save me

      D              G
It's okay that we're dying

                  Bm      A        G
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
[Bridge]
A                        G      
  And you touch my hand ever so slightly 

                                A
(Girl we're not ready for this yet) 

                         Bm     
And the deadly look she cast upon me 

          G       
I won't regret, I won't regret                     

     A  Bm  G        A   Bm  G  
I won't regret,  I won't regret

          D              A
And I was trying to disappear

                        G
But you got me wrapped around you 
I can hardly breathe without you
      D              A
I was trying to disappear 

                       G
But I got lost in your eyes now
You brought me down to size now [Chorus]
D            G                      Bm
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 

    A
And save me

      D               G
It's okay that we're dying

                  Bm               A  
But I need to survive tonight, tonight

   G
Tonight

D            G                      Bm
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try 

    A
And save me

      D              G
It's okay that we're dying

                  Bm      A        G
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
[Outro]
             Bm      A        G    D
I need to survive tonight, tonight
