F#m          C#m    D
   I was born   in a thunderstorm

F#m       C#m    D
   I grew up overnight

F#m          C#m
   I played alone,

              D             A/C#    Bmadd9 | |
   I'm playing on my own, I survived,       hey

F#m           C#m         D
   I wanted ev - erything I never had,

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

F#m         C#m        D
   I wore En - vy and I hated that,

            C# | |
   but I survived.
[PRE-CHORUS]
        F#m                C#m                D
I had a one-way ticket to a   place where all the demons go

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

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

            C# | |
but I'll survive.
[CHORUS 1]
n.c.      F#m A                D   D#m7-5
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

          F#m A                D   D#m7-5
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

I'm alive. 
[VERSE 2]
F#m        C#m       D
   I found solace in the strangest place,

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

F#m      C#m        D                C#
   I saw my life in a stranger's face  and it was mine.
[PRE-CHORUS]
        F#m                C#m                D

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

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

            C# | |
but I'll survive.

[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,

  Bm7
I told you that I would never be forgotten,

  F#m                 E  C# | |
I know that's part of you.
