[Intro] F#m E D x2 [Verse]
F#m    E          D
I was born in a thunderstorm,

F#m    E       D    F#m         E
I grew up overnight, I played alone,

            D                Bm
I'm playing on my own, I survived.

    F#m       E             D
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,

F#m       E          D
like the love that comes with life

F#m    E          D
I wer'e envy and I hated it,

          C#
but I survived.
[Pre Chorus]
      F#m                 E            D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

           F#m                   E                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,

    F#m                        E             D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,

             C#
but I'll survive.
[Chorus]
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.
[Verse 2]
F#m       E               D
 I found solace in the strangest place,

F#m          E          D
 way in the back of my mind.

F#m        E           D            C#
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.
[Pre chorus]
      F#m                 E           D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

           F#m                   E                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,

    F#m                        E            D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,

             C#
but I'll survive.
[Chorus]
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.

Bridge:
Bm
I had made every single mistake

  F#m                 E
that you could ever possibly make.

  Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave

     F#m                   E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.

   Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.

F#m                          E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,

   Bm
I told you that I would never be forgotten,

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

            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.) [Outro] I'm alive.
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,

      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,

      F#m   E   A   D   F#m
I'm alive.
