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