[Intro]
Em Em
[Verse 1]
Em Em
When I am down
C Em
I lay my hands upon this ground
Em D G
For the thousandth time
C D Em
I call him in, his earth is mine
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
Before I make the offering
C D Em
Remember all the faces that I've seen
C D Em
The marks have settled on my skin
C D Em
From all the different places that I've been
G
That I've been...
[Chorus]
C Em
And I feel the light for the very first time
C Em D
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
C Em
And I feel light for the very first time
C D
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
[Verse 2]
Em D G
War, is coming down
C D Em
Behind my eyes, inside my mind
Em D G
And for the thousandth time
C D Em
I feel too numb to even try
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
Before I make the offering
C D Em
Remember all the faces that I've seen
C D Em
The marks have settled on my skin
C D Em
From all the different places that I've been
G
That I've been...
[Chorus]
C Em
And I feel the light for the very first time
C Em D
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
C Em
And I feel light for the very first time
C Em
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
[Bridge]
D Em C D
I, I don't know where I am, where I'll go
Em C Em
Where to even begin when I know
D Em
What lies behind makes no sense in my mind
D C Em D Em C Em D D
But I know that it's time to let gooooo ooooh ooooo oooo
[Chorus]
C Em
And I feel the light for the very first time
C Em D
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
C Em
And I feel light for the very first time
C Em
Not anybody knows that I am lucky to be alive
[Outro]
C
I'm lucky to be alive
Em
I'm lucky to be alive
