[Verse 1]
A              E            D
 Losing everything ain’t so bad

                      A         E           D
When there’s no inspiration, no love at all

                A           E  D
No feeling, nowhere to fall

            A               E         D
We’re not alive, we’re not dead, the bottom don’t get any deeper

          A        E                      D
We’re just chasing thoughts around in our heads
[Bridge 1] D [Chorus 1]
A                E      D
Something has to break, something has to give

      A           E         D
We decide to stop dying and live

[Verse 2]
A                   E                  D
  When we’re at the bottom, anyone’s a pal

          A               E                  D
Anyone is good enough, we give ourselves away

                 A                E               D
We keep reaching out till there’s nothing left to do but look inside

       A                  E                   D
We all know life’s just a dream, it’s passing by
[Bridge 2] D D D D [Chorus 2]
A                E      D
Something has to break, something has to give

      A           E         D
We decide to stop dying and live

A                E      D
Something has to break, something has to give

      A           E         D          D
We decide to stop lying and give -- to live
[Outro]
E    A D
Live!

E    A D
Live!

E    A D
Live!

E    A D
Live!
