Intro
Dm Am A#
[Verse 1]
Dm Am A#
I was born in a thunderstorm
Dm Am A#
I grew up overnight
Dm Am A#
I played alone I played on my own
A7
But I survived
Hey
Dm Am A#
I wanted everything I never had
Dm Am A#
Like the love that comes with light
Dm Am A#
I wore envy and I hated that
A
But I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am A#
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Dm
Where the wind don't change
Am A#
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
Dm
No hope, just lies
Am A#
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
A7
But I survived
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Dm Am A#
I found solace in the strangest place
Dm Am A#
Way in the back of my mind
Dm Am A#
I saw my life in a stranger's face
A7
And it was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am A#
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Dm
Where the wind don't change
Am A#
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
Dm
No hope, just lies
Am A#
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
A7
But I survived
[Chorus]
Dm
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F
I'm alive
A#
Yeah
[Post-Chorus]

You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F A#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
Dm C
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

You took it all, but I'm still breathing
Dm C
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F A#
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
[Post-Chorus]
Gm
I have made every single mistake
Dm C
That you could ever possibly make
Gm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
Dm C
But you never noticed that I was in pain
Gm
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
Dm C
I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
Gm
I told you that I would never be forgotten
Dm C A
And all in spite of you
[Chorus]
Dm F A# Dm
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Dm C F A#
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Dm C
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F A#
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
Dm C
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F A#
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
Dm C
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
F A#
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
N.C.

[Outro]

Dm C F A#
I'm alive
Dm C F A#
I'm alive
