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