[Intro]
F#m E D x2
[Verse]
F#m E D
I was born in a thunderstorm,
F#m E D F#m E
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
D Bm
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
F#m E D
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
F#m E D
like the love that comes with life
F#m E D
I wer'e envy and I hated it,
C#
but I survived.
[Pre Chorus]
F#m E D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
F#m E D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
F#m E D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
C#
but I'll survive.
[Chorus]
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
A E F#m D
I'm alive,
F#m E A D
I'm alive.
[Verse 2]
F#m E D
I found solace in the strangest place,
F#m E D
way in the back of my mind.
F#m E D C#
I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.
[Pre chorus]
F#m E D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
F#m E D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
F#m E D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
C#
but I'll survive.
[Chorus]
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
A E F#m D
I'm alive,
F#m E A D
I'm alive.

Bridge:
Bm
I had made every single mistake
F#m E
that you could ever possibly make.
Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
F#m E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
F#m E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
Bm
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
F#m E C#
I know that's part of you.
[Chorus]
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E D B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)
A E F#m D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)
[Outro]
I'm alive.
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
F#m E A D
I'm alive,
