[Intro]
| Am |
[Verse 1]
Am E F
When my heart doesn't beat anymore
C E Am
And my body's cold
Am E F
You will walk, dressed in black, to my door
C E Am
And the bells will toll
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em/G
You use my love like an open vein
F
Just when I thought it would heal
Esus4
Back you came
[Chorus]
E Am
Seeing you again for the first time
C/G
Tryna look ahead and not behind
F
Raging as you do against the tide
Dm
Knowing that your his instead of mine
Am
Getting used to being hurt again
C/G
Every day's closer to the end
D/F#
Holding back the tears I need to cry
F
Waiting to breathe for the last time
Am C/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Dm Am C/G F Dm
That's how it feels to be alive
[Verse 2]
Am E F
At my grave, they did say one last verse
C E Am
'Bout the new love that you found
Am E F
And I lay in the rain by the church
C E Am
And they lured me into the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Am Em/G
You stole my heart as your souvenir
F
Thought that you would never come back
Esus4
But now you're here
[Chorus]
E Am
Seeing you again for the first time
C/G
Tryna look ahead and not behind
F
Raging as you do against the tide
Dm
Knowing that your his instead of mine
Am
Getting used to being hurt again
C/G
Every day's closer to the end
D/F#
Holding back the tears I need to cry
F
Waiting to breathe for the last time
Am C/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Dm Am C/G F
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Dm Am
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
[Outro]
C/G F
(Outside waiting in the cold again)
(I'm outside waiting to be held again)
Dm Am
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
C/G F
(Outside standing on my own again)
Dm Am
That's how it feels to be alive
