Still Breathing

Intro (x2): Dm  Dm    Bb

Verse 1:
           Dm
I'll never know your pain,
           Dm             Bb
I've never walked in your shoes.
           Dm
I know your life ain't fair,
            Dm               Bb
I know it's damn near killed you.
                    Dm
You've been through hell,
              Dm              Bb
You blame yourself, a painful past you can't forgive.
           Dm
You had no help,
              Dm             Bb
But time will tell if it's a curse or it's a gift.

Chorus:
(nc)                Bb              F
But if you're still breathing, breathing,
            C                    Dm
You made it through your darkest days,
                      Bb          F
If your heart's still beating, beating,
             C         Dm
Then you are gonna be okay,
           Bb                     C
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break,
    Dm                            F
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake,
    Bb
The war in your head tells a story that's still,
        C
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing.
Dm  Dm    Bb
          ('Cause you're still breathing),
Dm  Dm    Bb
          ('Cause you're still breathing).

Verse 2:
               Dm
If you've been up all night,
            Dm            Bb
Thinking it won't get better.
           Dm
No need to wear your scars,
       Dm         Bb
Like a scarlet letter.
              Dm
You're on the ledge,
            Dm                 Bb
But not the end, it helped you see another way.
         Dm
a broken heart,
            Dm              Bb
a brand new start, tomorrow everything could change.

Chorus:
(nc)                   Bb              F
'Cause if you're still breathing, breathing,
            C                    Dm
You made it through your darkest days,
                      Bb          F
If your heart's still beating, beating,
             C         Dm
Then you are gonna be okay,
           Bb                     C
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break,
    Dm                            F
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake,
    Bb
The war in your head tells a story that's still,
        C
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing.

You're alive, you survived,
                    Csus4            C
It's a sign and the proof is in your pulse,
Dm                  Bb
Brighter stars only shine in the dark,
        Csus4             Csus4
You are stronger than you know,

You made it through your darkest days,
                      Bb          F                         C  Dm
If your heart's still beating, beating, (your heart's still beating),
             C         Dm
Then you're gonna be okay,
           Bb                     C                              Dm
You've had millions of reasons to bend and to break, (you're not dead),
    Dm                            F
But you're still alive and that's not a mistake,
    Bb
The war in your head tells a story that's still,
        C
Worth believing, 'cause you're still breathing.
