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