D                 G
 I don't remember asking for any of this

D                      G
 Life and death at the same time

D                 G
 It's not how we imagined it when we were kids

D                    G
 Descending from the same life

D                      G
 We finally learned to open up the aperture

D                 G
 Such a long time coming

D                    G
 This far along, you thought you would be happier

D                          G
 But in the distance I can hear the drumming
[Pre-Chorus]
      D           G           D
Come alive, come alive, come alive

             G
What does it feel like?

      D           G           D
Come alive, come alive, come alive

             G
What does it feel like?
[Chorus]
G                       D
 'Cause I can tell your heart's not in it

Bm             G
 What would it take to realize

G                    D/A
 There is no end and no beginning?

Bm                G
 There's only now, open your eyes
[Post-Chorus]
      D           G           D
Come alive, come alive, come alive

             G
What does it feel like?
[Verse 2]
D                    G
 You and I were just ghosts in the machinery

D                G
 Hiding there in plain sight

D                   G
 Moving too fast to make sense of the scenery

D                      G
 Always falling from a great height

D                 G
 You get tired of hearing, "It is what it is

D                   G
 You'll never rise above it"

D                      G
 I know this place has always been mysterious

D                            G
 But life's too short to be afraid of it
[Chorus]
G                    D
 And I can tell your heart's not in it

Bm            G
 What will it take to realize

G                    D/A
 There is no end and no beginning

Bm                G
 There's only now, open your eyes

G       A           F#m        Bm
 Someday you'll find all you've left behind

G                    D
 And wonder why your heart's not in it

Bm                G
 It's not too late for you and I
[Instrumental] | D/A | G | D/F# | Em7 | | D/A | G | D/F# | Em7 | [Bridge]
D/A                G
 Time was made for running out

D/F#                      Em7
Don't know why it took so long

D/A               G
 Sun was made for coming out

D/F#                     Em7
Even though the night is long
[Instrumental] | D | G | D | G | | D | G | D | G | [Chorus]
G                  D
 I wonder why your heart's not in it

Bm            G
 What will it take to realize

G                    D/A
 There is no end and no beginning

Bm                G
 There's only love

    G         A            F#m             Bm
The nucleus dividing and repeating at the speed of light

G                  D
 I wonder why your heart's not in it

Bm                 G
 It's not too late, open your eyes
[Post-Chorus]
      D           G           D
Come alive, come alive, come alive

             G
What does it feel like?

      D           G           D
Come alive, come alive, come alive

             G
What does it feel like?
[Outro]
D/A                G
 Time was made for running out

D/F#                      Em7
Don't know why it took so long

D/A               G
 Sun was made for coming out

D/F#                     Em7    D
Even though the night is long
