Intro: Em Bm Cmaj7 x2

Em    Bm        Cmaj7
I was born in a thunderstorm
Em    Bm        Cmaj7
I grew up overnight
Em    Bm         Cmaj7
I played alone
Cmaj7
I played on my own
  Am
I survived

Em       Bm           Cmaj7
I wanted everything I never had
Em    Bm                   Cmaj7
Like the love that comes with life
Em    Bm           Cmaj7
I wore envy and I hated it
       B7
But I survived

         Em                 Bm                      Cmaj7
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons Go
               Em
Where the wind donʼt change
      Bm                           Cmaj7
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
     Em
No hope, just lies
               Bm                    Cmaj7
And youʼre taught to cry in your pillow
       B7
But I survived

          Em       G           Cmaj7    Db
Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
          Em       G           Cmaj7    Db
Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
      Em D G C
Iʼm alive
      Em D G C
Iʼm alive
      Em D G C
Iʼm alive
      Em D G C
Iʼm alive

I found solace in the strangest place
Way in the back of my mind
I saw my life in a strangerʼs face
And it was mine

I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons Go
Where the wind donʼt change
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
No hope, just lies
And youʼre taught to cry in your pillow
But I survived

Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive

Em                 D
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
G                   C
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
Em                 D
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
G                   C
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
Em                 D
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
G                   C
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
Em                 D
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing
G                   C
You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing

Am
I had made every single mistake
         Em                D
That you could ever possibly make
Am
I took and I took and I took what you gave
         Em                D
But you never noticed that I was in pain
Am
I knew what I wanted; I went in and got it
   Em                D
Did all the things that you said that I wouldnʼt
Am
I told you that I would never be forgotten
       Em                D             B7
And all in spite of you

And Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
Iʼm still breathing, Iʼm still breathing
Iʼm alive (You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
(You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
Iʼm alive (You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
(You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
Iʼm alive (You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
(You took it all, but Iʼm still breathing)
Iʼm alive

Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive
Iʼm alive
