Intro

E F#
Never in all of my life
B E
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
E
on a Saturday night,
F# B A#m E
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
E F#
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
E F#
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
B E B
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
E F#
We met up once we'd settled the sun
B A#m
Between the heat and the work week
E
The fear is we could use some sleep
E F#
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
B A#m E
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
E F#
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
E F#
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
E F#
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
E F#
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
B
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
E D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
B E
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
E F#
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
B
and one of us has nothing at all.
E
So he calls us all sheep
F# B
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
E F#
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
B A#m E
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
E
We were the get rich quick kids,
F#
We never got it right
E F#
So we settled for the center in town
E F#
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
E F#
got the blond one staring me down.
E F#
and I really wanna take a swing
B A#m E
I can't help but remember James Dean
E F#
See we are part of the few who agree
E
that hey, he lived life fast
F#
but he died.
he died.
he died.
B
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
B E B
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)
B
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
E B
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time,
E
in a long time,
B
I feel alive.
