🎶 Keep me alive

You tried to hold me down [Bb],so I became a soldier
Built up all these walls,[A#] and now I'm climbing over [Db]
Those nasty bees are temping me
Oh, Lord [Em], But I ain't going back [E7]

You take me for a fool, [Bb] that doesn't make me foolish
Told me I was wrong, [A#] passion made you ruthless
[Db] Manipulate, it's just too late.
Oh, Lord [Em], But I ain't going back [E7] no more

[D]You're fueling up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of.

[Bb]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[A#]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[Db]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[Em] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.

[Bb]Making me believe I couldn't do without ya
[A#]Make it hard to leave, you think it's all about ya
[Db]You know I'll never be what you wanted
[Em]This fire, this fire,[E7].

[Bb]I tried to get this weight off of my shoulders
[A#]Built up all my strength, l'm finally taking over
[Db]Complicate, I don't appreciate, oh Lord
[Em]'Cause I ain't going back no more
[E7]You're fueling up the flames
Gonna show you what I'm made of

[Bb]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[A#]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[Db]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[Em] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.
Keeping me alive
Keeping me alive
This fire, this fire,
Is keeping me alive

[Eb] Breaking me, shaking me, shaping me
[Bb] into what l never wanted, oh
[Eb] Breaking me, shaking me,
making my beating heart a little stronger [D]
Stronger, strong, baby [E7]

[Bb]Breaking every chain that you put on me
[A#]You thought I wouldn't change, but I grew on ya
[Db]'Cause I will never be what you wanted
[Em] This fire, this fire, [E7]
is keeping me alive.
