Intro
D#m A#m B
[Verse 1]
D#m A#m B
I was born in a thunderstorm
D#m A#m B
I grew up overnight
D#m A#m B
I played alone I played on my own
A#7
But I survived
Hey
D#m A#m B
I wanted everything I never had
D#m A#m B
Like the love that comes with light
D#m A#m B
I wore envy and I hated that
A#
But I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m A#m B
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
D#m
Where the wind don't change
A#m B
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
D#m
No hope, just lies
A#m B
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
A#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
D#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
D#m A#m B
I found solace in the strangest place
D#m A#m B
Way in the back of my mind
D#m A#m B
I saw my life in a stranger's face
A#7
And it was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
D#m A#m B
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
D#m
Where the wind don't change
A#m B
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
D#m
No hope, just lies
A#m B
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
A#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
D#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F#
I'm alive
B
Yeah
[Post-Chorus]
D#m C#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F# B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
D#m C#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F# B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
D#m C#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F# B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
D#m C#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F# B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
[Post-Chorus]
G#m
I have made every single mistake
D#m C#
That you could ever possibly make
G#m
I took and I took and I took what you gave
D#m C#
But you never noticed that I was in pain
G#m
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
D#m C#
I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
G#m
I told you that I would never be forgotten
D#m C# A#
And all in spite of you
[Chorus]
D#m F# B D#m
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
D#m C# F# B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
D#m C#
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F# B
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
D#m C#
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F# B
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
D#m C#
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F# B
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
N.C.
I'm alive
[Outro]
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
D#m C# F# B
I'm alive
