The Fratellis – Alive (Guitar)

       C       
All her dreams gave way.

F        G      
 Is she alive 

         C
Can she just not say?

F            G
 Is this the end of the 

C                         F
Last of the first heartbreaks?

     G           C
She can’t understand

 F                G          
Ready though she is

     C 
She cannot think straight

F          G     
   Is she alive,

          C
Can she twist her fate?

F            G        
    All the boys 

         C 
On the radio dance floor

F              G          C       
         They won’t understand at all

F     G         F                   
     There was a question, oh,

          C      Em     
That she once revered 

         Dm               
Like the itch of the just 

          Em
Meets the call of the weird

     F                        Em      
Left unanswered underneath and above

        Dm            
So she danced all alone 

         C     G
And got ready for love

        C         C                  
And so she moves slow 

               C        
Through those doe eyes that 

 C             F             D 
Once held her so entertained

       G                  G       
Only this remained and nobody explained

           C         F        
That she cries all night. 

         G            C  
Is she alive, is she just not quite?

F               G                 C       
   Will she survive all the plasticine husbands?

F         G               C       
    It’s nothing that The Book won’t cure

F               G               C       
Maybe all the secrets that she knows won’t save her.

F              G                 C    
What doesn’t kill you makes you that bit stranger.

F               G                    C                                C     
  She was everything when they needed what they needed 

           F               G      C
Now she can’t understand at all

                F                     C                          Dm                        C         Em
There was a question oh that she once revered like the itch of the just meets the call of the weird left

     F                 C       
Unanswered underneath and above

        Dm                         C           G       
so she danced all alone and got ready for love

        C                    C                C                C           F            D       
And so she moves slow through those doe eyes that once held her so entertained

         G                     G       
only this remained and nobody explained

 C      F              G                      C      
Maybe she was orphaned when the floor gave way?

F                G             C       
Is she alive can she just not say?

F                G             C                         F
Is this a trick of the light from a gun shy boy?

          G    C 
She can’t understand

F            G             C   
   are you alive are your chances slim?

F                 G           C        
You better pray that she just won’t take you

F                 G           C        
cause you won’t understand at all

F     G         F                   
     There was a question, oh,

          C      Em

         Dm

So she danced all alone 

         C     G
And got ready for love

        C         C

 F      G          C   
     she can’t understand at all.     X7
