Em Cadd9 G
Em Cadd9 G D/F#
[Verse 1]
Em Where did you go? Cadd9 G I would say that to myself often Cadd9 G D/F# Like I was dressing up for a coffin to lie down in Em I can't say I know Cadd9 G I was overcome the distance Cadd9 G B11 I was lost in my own incidents in my mind G Gsus2 Cadd9 Were you calling me from outside of a dream?
[Chorus]
C6sus2 G Cadd9 I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer G Gsus2 Em Cadd9 I was invincible many years ago when I was so much stronger C6sus2 G Cadd9 I wanna smile like a letter from an old friend G Gsus2 My arms are wide as oceans Em Cadd9 How I've missed you, and feelin' good to be alive
[Turnaround]
Em Cadd9 G (open 1st and 2nd strings on first Em)
Em Cadd9 G
Em Cadd9 G B11
[Verse 2]
Em Wherever I'd go Cadd9 G There were whispers in the vestibules Cadd9 G D/F# Reminders of my time with you on my own Em It's hard to know Cadd9 G when your mind declares a war on you Cadd9 G B11 Like the thoughts inside my skull would do, like I was blind G Gsus2 Cadd9 And I'm sure I saw the signs, but didn't know
[Chorus]
C6sus2 G Cadd9 I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer G Gsus2 Em Cadd9 I was invincible many years ago when I was so much stronger C6sus2 G Cadd9 I wanna smile like a letter from an old friend G Gsus2 My arms are open oceans Em Cadd9 G How I've missed you, and feelin' good to be alive
[Bridge]
(Palm mute, downstrokes on single or pairs of low strings only)
B/G I need a spark B I need a positive charge
C D (5th string, not open 4th)
Plug it into my veins, make me love this life again
B/G I need a spark B I need a positive charge C D Plug it into my brain and make me love my life again
(Fully mute and strum a few times to transition back to the chorus)
[Chorus]
G Cadd9 I wanna live, I wanna love you a little longer G Gsus2 Em Cadd9 I was invincible many years ago when I was so much stronger C6sus2 G Cadd9 I wanna smile like a letter from an old friend G Gsus2 My arms are open oceans Em Cadd9 G How I've missed you, and feelin' good to be alive

G Em11 Em How I've missed you, how I've missed you Cadd9 G Feelin' good to be alive G Em11 Em How I've missed you, how I've missed you Cadd9 G Em11 And it's good to be alive G Em11 Em How I've missed you, how I've missed you Cadd9 G Feelin' good to be alive G Em11 Em How I've missed you, how I've missed you Cadd9 G And it's good to be alive Em Cadd9 G Em11 Em Oooooooh, ooooooh, ahaha Cadd9 G And it's good to be alive
