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