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