Intro -x2-: Gbm   E   D
 
Verse:
Gbm    E          D
I was born in a thunderstorm,
Gbm    E       D    Gbm         E
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
            D                Bm
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
    Gbm       E             D
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
Gbm       E          D
like the love that comes with life
Gbm    E          D
I wer'e envy and I hated it,
          Db
but I survived.
 
Pre-Chorus:
      Gbm                 E            D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
           Gbm                   E                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    Gbm                        E             D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             Db
but I'll survive.
 
Chorus:
            Gbm  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            Gbm  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      Gbm   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      Gbm   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   Gbm   D
I'm alive,
      Gbm   E   A   D
I'm alive.
 
Verse 2:
Gbm       E               D
 I found solace in the strangest place,
Gbm          E          D
 way in the back of my mind.
Gbm        E           D            Db
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.
 
Pre-Chorus:
      Gbm                 E           D

where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    Gbm                        E            D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             Db
but I'll survive.

Bridge:
Bm
I had made every single mistake
  Gbm                 E
that you could ever possibly make.
  Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
     Gbm                   E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
   Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
Gbm                          E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,

I told you that I would never be forgotten,

And all in spite of you
