Verse 1:
     A       G           Gbm Bm
Just sit and wait, don't move
     D   A
Just hesitate
        A        G
You can hope and pray
        Gbm Bm
You can moan
      D           A      Cdim B7  A
Maybe things will change

Interlude:
    G         Gbm
You feel your soul
    D        A
Get hollowed out
          G       Gbm
While the world implodes
         D       A
You just live without

Verse 2:
    A          G
She walks, she runs
    Gbm   Bm
She fights
  D       A        A         G
Almost as one, and finds her voice
        Gbm  Bm
She'll march
    D      A      Cdim B7  A
She has no choice

Interlude:
      G          Gbm
She’s crushed by thoughts
   D        A
At night of men
    G        Gbm
Who want her rights
    D       A
And usually win

Chorus:
          G    Gbm
But she's alive
F         A     Cdim B7  A
Oh, she's alive
      G    Gbm
She’s alive
F         A     Cdim B7  A
Oh, she's alive

Verse 3:
   A           G
He screams, he shouts
    Gbm  Bm      D  A
The hands on the TV bow
     A        G
They take the bait
     Gbm Bm     D        A    Cdim B7  A
They mirror the waves of hate

Interlude:
     G          Gbm
They break down walls
   D          A
To free their sins
    G          Gbm
And then their hearts
     D      A
Come caving in

Verse 4:
        A       G
Oh, I watch, I think
  Gbm  Bm
I dance
        D       A
And sometimes I drink
  A       G
I sing my songs
     Gbm Bm       D      A    Cdim B7  A
I'll hope someone sings along

Interlude:
   G        Gbm
If I should break
   D      A
My silent streak
     G           Gbm
Will knives come out
   D      A
To cut my cheek?

Chorus:
        G   Gbm
Oh I'm alive
F        A    Cdim B7  A
Yes I'm alive
         G   Gbm
But I'm alive
F       A    Cdim B7  A
Oh I'm alive
     G   Gbm
I'm alive
F       A    Cdim B7  A
Oh I'm alive
         G   Gbm
Yes I’m alive
F       A     Cdim B7  A
Yes I’m alive

Outro:
  A       G      Gbm Bm
I care, a lot, I know
    D          A
The things I'm not
       A            G
It’s alright, it's okay
         Gbm Bm
And it's not
      D           A
Maybe things will change
