[Intro] G G C F G G C F [Verse 1]
F           G               C
You turn me on, you lift me up

             F                           G
And like the sweetest cup I'd share with you

            C             F                        G
You lift me up, don't you ever stop, I'm here with you

                C
Now it's all or nothing

       F                     G
'Cause you say you'll follow through

            C      F              G
You follow me, and I, I, I follow you
[Pre-Chorus]
G
What you gonna do when things go wrong?

G
What you gonna do when it all cracks up?

C
What you gonna do when the Love burns down?

F
What you gonna do when the flames go up?

Em
Who is gonna come and turn the tide?

Em
What's it gonna take to make a dream survive?

C
Who's got the touch to calm the storm inside?

F
Who's gonna save you?
[Chorus]
F            G
Alive and kicking

                C        F              G
Stay until your love is,   alive and kicking

                 C              F
Stay until your love is, until your love is, alive

G               C         F                     G
Oh, you lift me up to the crucial top, so I can see

                C            F
Oh, you lead me on, till the feelings come

                          G
And the lights that shine on

                       C
But if that don't mean nothing

        F                      G
Like if someday it should fall through

               C              F
You'll take me home where the magic's from and I'll be with you
[Pre-Chorus]
