[Intro]
D5 A5(V) D5 A5(V)
[Verse 1]
C5 E C5 E Like a spent gladiator A5 Crawling in the Colosseum dust C5 E C5 E Who can count on his remaining limbs A5 All the people he can trust C5 E C5 E Like the one who stands behind him A5 Cheering him on C5 E C5 E Ecstatic when he stands defiant A5 Wild with abandon when he's gone
[Chorus]
F5 Just stay alive C5 G5 Keep your eyes on the payload
A5(V)
[Verse 2]
C5 E C5 E Like a village on the steppe A5 About to get collectivized C5 E C5 E When the men emerge with rifles from the haystack A5 Everybody looks surprised C5 E C5 E Like the mice in the forgotten grain A5 Way up on the top shelf C5 E C5 E Like someone who's found a small town to escape to A5 Keeps one eye on his abandoned former self
[Chorus]
F5 Stay in the game C5 G5 Just try to play through the pain
[Bridge]
D5 F5 E5 C5 Like a fighter who's been told it's finally time for him to quit A5 E5 E Show up in shining colors and then stand there and get hit
[Intro]
D5 A5(V) D5 A5(V)
[Verse 3]
C5 E C5 E Like the clock that ticks in Dresden A5 When the whole town's been destroyed C5 E C5 E Like the nagging flash of insight A5 You're always desperate to avoid C5 E C5 E Like the bloody knuckled gunman A5 Still stationed at the breach C5 E C5 E Like that board game with the sliders A5 And the children on the beach
[Chorus]
F5 Stay alive C5 G5 Maybe spit some blood at the camera F5 Just stay alive C5 G5 Stay forever alive
