Intro: Em Am C D

Verse 1:
Em                             Am
I'm at war with the world and they
                      Em
Try to pull me in the dark
                       Am
I struggle to find my faith
                               Em
As I'm slippin' from your arms
                             Em
It's getting harder to stay awake
                          Am
And my strength is fading fast
                 G      D
You breathe into me at last

Chorus:
     Em         C
I'm awake! I'm alive!
       G           D
Now I know what I believe inside
Em       C
Now it's my time
     G             D
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Em                  C
Here (right here), right now (right now)!
     G             D
I'll stand my ground and never back down
Em           C
I know what I believe inside
Am            Bm           Em
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Riff: Em Am C D

Verse 2:
Em                              Am
I'm at war with the word 'cause I
                         Em
Ain't never gonna sell my soul
                          Am
I've already made up my mind
                                    Em
No matter what I can't be bought or sold

When my faith is getting weak
                       Am
And I feel like giving in
                G       D
You breathe into me again

Chorus:
     Em         C
I'm awake! I'm alive!
       G           D
Now I know what I believe inside
Em       C
Now it's my time
     G             D
I'll do what I want 'cause this is my life
Em                  C
Here (right here), right now (right now)!
     G             D
I'll stand my ground and never back down
Em           C
I know what I believe inside
Am            Bm           Em
I'm awake and I'm alive!

Bridge:
Em                   Em
Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up
Em                   Em
Waking up Waking up, Waking up Waking up
        Am                           Em
In the dark, I can feel you in my sleep
                        C            D
In your arms I feel you breathe into me
                  Am                       C
Forever hold this heart that I will give to you
                        D
Forever I will live for you!
