When my [Bm] heart doesn't [F#] beat [G] anymore
And my [D] body's [F#] cold [Bm]
You will [Bm] walk, dressed in [F#] black, to my [G] door
And the [D] bells will [F#] toll [Bm]
You use my [Bm] love like an open [F#m/A] vein
Just when I thought it would [G] heal
Back you [F#sus4] came
[F#] Seeing you again for the first [Bm] time
Tryna look ahead and not [Bm7/A] behind
Raging as you do against the [G] tide
Knowing that your his instead of [Em] mine
Getting used to being hurt [Bm] again
Every day's closer to the [Bm7/A] end
Holding back the tears I need to [E/G#] cry
Waiting to breathe for the [G] last time
Yeah, that's how it feels to be [Bm] alive [Bm7/A] [G]
[Em] That's how it feels to be [Bm] alive [Bm7/A] [G] [Em]
At my [Bm] grave, they did [F#] say one last [G] verse
'Bout the [D] new love [F#] that you [Bm] found
And I [Bm] lay in the [F#] rain by the [G] church
And they [D] lured me [F#] into the [Bm] ground
You stole my [Bm] heart as your [F#m/A] souvenir
Thought that you would never come [G] back
But now you're [F#sus4] here
[F#] Seeing you again for the first [Bm] time
Tryna look ahead and not [Bm7/A] behind
Raging as you do against the [G] tide
Knowing that your his instead of [Em] mine
Getting used to being hurt [Bm] again
Every day's closer to the [Bm7/A] end
Holding back the tears I need to [E/G#] cry
Waiting to breathe for the last [G] time
Yeah, that's how it feels to be [Bm] alive [Bm7/A] [G]
Yeah, [Em] that's how it feels to be [Bm] alive [Bm7/A] [G]
Yeah, [Em] that's how it feels to be [Bm] alive
(Outside [Bm7/A] waiting in the cold [G] again) (I'm outside waiting to be held again)
Yeah, [Em] that's how it feels to be [Bm] alive (Outside [Bm7/A] standing on my own [G] again)
[Em] That's how it feels to be [Bm] alive
