Being Alive

G 
Drove home from the Richman show 
   Am                  D 
He played that summer feeling 
G 
And i felt that a little 
         Am            D 
but that feeling kept retreating 
Am               D 
My head by the P. A. I heard my 
G     Am    C 
Heart Beat Weird 
Am                D 
You felt so real beside me 
G        Am        C 
But i didn't feel real 

 
G 
Flat earthers argue whether 
      Am            D 
other planets are flat 
G 
Doctors say not to worry 
        Am         D 
but I'm scared of math 
Am                D 
A thousand little gods down there 
     G    Am     C 
They whisper my worth 
C                 D              G 
So i talk, to the cats like it's church 


              C                     D                        G 
Still I don't honk at the big black truck on a Saturday night 
        C                   D                        G 
even though it's stopped in front of me at the green light 
           C                     D 
No I won't honk at the big black truck 
      G    Am   C 
On a SATURDAY Night 
C              D 
Cause i like, I like 
      G 
Being Alive 


G 
There's teeth in the stack 
          Am          D 
Where the powerlines end 
G 
And they'll sell you the itch 
        Am            D 
They'll rent you the win 
G                 Am 
A king bought the kingdom 
   G      Am    C 
Of signal and sin 
        Am               D 
and his fans paint their mirrors 
     G     Am     C 
With pictures of him 


 
G 
And the hit gets quicker 
    Am        D 
the loop gets worse 
  G 
I scrolled till the ghost in the 
Am            D 
Glass learned words 
       Am           D 
and my fingers they tap tap tap 
G   Am   C 
tap tap tap tap 
   Am       D 
In case of emergency 
G  Am     C 
   break glass 


              C                     D                        G 
Still I don't honk at the big black truck on a Saturday night 
        C                   D                        G 
even though it's stopped in front of me at the green light 
           C                     D 
No I won't honk at the big black truck 
      G    Am   C 
On a SATURDAY Night 
C              D 
Cause i like, I like 
      G 
Being Alive

               C 
The moon looks fake 
                 D 
But it's hanging there 
       G                           Am         C 
frozen sky tastes like wine in the late night air 
          C 
the lines hum 
               D 
my heart keeps time 
   G                        Am       C 
it smells awful sweet for a world on fire 
          Am     D 
Cause the kid is asleep 
        G      D     C 
and the lights still work 
      C           D             G 
and i talk to the cats like it's church
