Verse:
F#m F#m E E D D
I was born in a thunderstorm,
F#m F#m E E D D F#m F#m E E
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
D D Bm Bm
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
F#m F#m E E D D
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
F#m F#m E E D D
like the love that comes with life
F#m F#m E E D D
I wore Ambien and I hated it,
C# C#
but I survived.

Pre-Chorus:
F#m F#m E E D D
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go,
F#m F#m E E D D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
F#m F#m E E D D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
C# C#
but I'll survive.

Chorus:
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
A A - E E - F#m F#m - D D
I'm alive,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive.

Verse 2:
F#m F#m E E D D
I found solace in the strangest place,
F#m F#m E E D D
way in the back of my mind.
F#m F#m E E D D C# C#
I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.

Pre-chorus:
F#m F#m E E D D
I had wanted to go to a place where all the demons go,
F#m F#m E E D D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
F#m F#m E E D D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
C# C#
but I'll survive.

Chorus:
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
A A - E E - F#m F#m - D D
I'm alive,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive.

Reprise:
F#m F#m E E
You took it out, but I'm still breathing.

You took it out, but I'm still breathing.

Bridge:
Bm Bm
I had made every single mistake
F#m F#m E E
that you could ever possibly make.
Bm Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
F#m F#m E E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
Bm Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
F#m F#m E E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
Bm Bm
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
F#m F#m E E C# C#
I know that's part of you.

Chorus:
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m E E D D B B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)
F#m F#m - E E - A A - D D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)
A A - E E - F#m F#m - D D
I'm alive,
(You took it out but I'm still breathing. You took it out but I'm still breathing.)

I'm alive.
