Intro
Bm F#m G
[Verse 1]
Bm F#m G
I was born in a thunderstorm
Bm F#m G
I grew up overnight
Bm F#m G
I played alone I played on my own
F#7
But I survived
Hey
Bm F#m G
I wanted everything I never had
Bm F#m G
Like the love that comes with light
Bm F#m G
I wore envy and I hated that
F#
But I survived
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m G
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Bm
Where the wind don't change
F#m G
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
Bm
No hope, just lies
F#m G
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
F#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Bm A D G
I'm alive
Bm A D G
I'm alive
Bm A D G
I'm alive
Bm A D G
I'm alive
[Verse 2]
Bm F#m G
I found solace in the strangest place
Bm F#m G
Way in the back of my mind
Bm F#m G
I saw my life in a stranger's face
F#7
And it was mine
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m G
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
Bm
Where the wind don't change
F#m G
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
Bm
No hope, just lies
F#m G
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
F#7
But I survived
[Chorus]
Bm
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
Bm A D G
I'm alive
Bm A D G

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