Intro: Db Verse 1 Db I'm like a child looking off on the horizon Ab I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens Bbm Ab Gb Oh, I'm still alive Db I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time Ab I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmine Bbm Ab Gb Oh, I'm still alive Pre-Chorus Db Ab Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Bbm Gb Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away Chorus: Db Db Cause I'm still breathing Bbm Ab Cause I'm still breathing on my own Gb My head's above the rain and roses Ab Making my way, away Db Db Cause I'm still breathing Bbm Ab Cause I'm still breathing on my own Gb My head's above the rain and roses Ab Making my way, away Db My way to you Verse 2 Db I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time Ab I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime Bbm Ab Gb Oh, I'm still alive Db I'm like a son that was raised without a father Ab I'm like a mother barely keeping it together Bbm Ab Gb Oh, I'm still alive Pre-Chorus Db Ab Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm? Bbm Gb Just shine a light into the wreckage, so far away, away Chorus: Db Db Cause I'm still breathing Bbm Ab Cause I'm still breathing on my own Gb My head's above the rain and roses Ab Making my way, away Db Db Cause I'm still breathing Bbm Ab Cause I'm still breathing on my own Gb My head's above the rain and roses Ab Making my way, away away Bridge Bbm Ab Gb Db As I walked out on the ledge Bbm Ab Gb Db Are you scared to death to live?

How to play Still Breathing on ukulele
Still Breathing runs on one pattern: d u d u. The groove sits around 132 bpm, a brisk pace. You are playing it in Db major. The chords ask a bit more of you, so I rate them proficient. Prefer easier shapes? Transpose the song down 1 half-step, then a capo on fret 1 brings you back to the key on this page. Drive the chorus with fast down-up eighths for that pop-punk push.
