Alive

	  		Am 
I sat alone in the cold 
D 
In my room that night 
C 
My face was red with the tears  
G                           D 
Of a thousand and one lonely nights 
Em      C 
No one came 
G       D 
No one called 
Em       C 
No one cared 
G         D 
And no one saw 

C                      G 
And yet everything was alright 
Em                      D 
As I sat there in my loneliness 
C                         G 
Wrapped my arms around my knees 
C 
And I held tight 
D 
I could feel my heart beat 
C 
That's how I knew  

Em  C  G  D 
I'm alive 
Em  C  G  D 
I'm alive 
Em             C          G         D 
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive 
Em    C    G   D 
I'm alive, I'm alive 
G                 Em 
I feel because I'm alive 

( C  G  D  Em  C  G  D ) 

Em                    C 
Sometimes it's not easy to 
G                D 
And I don't want to feel 
Em                            C 
But if I close off and just be numb 
G            D 
What would I become? 
Em        C 
Shutting down 
G     D 
Getting by 
Em      C 
Even though 
G             D 
There's pain inside 
C 
Is how I know 

Em  C  G  D 
I'm alive 
Em  C  G  D 
I'm alive 
Em             C          G         D 
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive 
Em    C    G   D 
I'm alive, I'm alive 
G       C        Em 
I feel because I'm alive 

Em         G 
And if I break 
D   
Wanna feel every single thing 
C 
I'm alive 
Em             G         D 
I wanna live, not just survive 

Em 
I'm alive 
G    D 
I'm alive 
Em    C 
I'm alive 
G    D 
I'm alive 
Em             C          G         D 
I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive 
Em    C    G   D 
I'm alive, I'm alive
