G / Bm /
i told them all the ones i love
G / Bm Am
i'm leaving and i may not return
G / Bm /
see lately i've been overcome
G / Bm Am
the feeling i fear has just begun
C G
the pain i feel deep inside
C G
that haunts us all that we will die
C G D / / /
never really knowing how it feels
G C D Bm
to be alive
G C D Bm
G / Bm /
through mountains and over seas
G Bm Am
through misery and disease
G / Bm /
a spectator i played my part
G / Bm Am
but nothing could move this heart
C G
until i held the boy's hand
C G
the little one spoke like a man
C
he showed me death and said
G D / / /
this is how you know you're alive
G C D Bm
G C D Bm
alive
G / Bm Am /
a kingfisher in flight
C / G /
you'll rise above this sea of doubts
C / G / (last beat silent on "yah")
into a world full of clouds - yah
G / Bm /
G / Bm Am
C G C G
C G D / / /
(repeat 4 times)
G C D Bm
alive
G (silent after first beat and a capella to finish)
alive
alive
