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

F#m E A

[Post-Chorus]
F#m E
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
A D
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
F#m E
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
A D
You took it all, but I'm still breathing

You took it all, but I'm still breathing

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