[INTRO] Em Bm C x2 [VERSE 1]
Em      Bm        C
  I was born in a thunderstorm,

Em       Bm     C     
  I grew up overnight.

Em           Bm              C
  I played alone, I'm playing on my own. 

     Am    
I survived.

   Em         Bm           C
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,

Em         Bm        C
  like the love that comes with life.

Em        Bm        C
  I wore envy and I hated it,

         B7
but I survived.

      Em                 Bm               C
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

           Em                   Bm                    C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,

    Em                        Bm             C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,

             B7
but I'll survive.
[PRE-CHORUS]
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
[CHORUS]
      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive, 

      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive, 

      G    D   Em  C
I'm alive, 

      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive. 
[VERSE 2]
Em         Bm          C
 I found solace in the strangest place,

Em          Bm          C
 way in the back of my mind.

Em        Bm         C               C#
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.

           Em                 Bm               C
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,

           Em                   Bm                    C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,

    Em                        Bm             C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,

             B7
but I'll survive.
[PRE-CHORUS]
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
[CHORUS]
      Em    D   G   C

[BRIDGE]
Am
I had made every single mistake,

  Em                 D
that you could ever possibly make.

  Am
I took and I took and I took what you gave

     Em                    D
but you never noticed that I was in pain.

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

Em                          D
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,

   Am
I told you that I would never be forgotten,

   Em                  D   B7
I know that's part of you.
[PRE-CHORUS]
              Em  D                C   C#m
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

          Em  D                C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
[CHORUS]
