Chords for "Still Breathing" from Milagro, a new musical - Evynne Hollens

_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [F#] How can I be found if I don't know where I am?
[B] How can I start over [Bm] when I don't know where to begin?
[F#] I had a place to call home, but I'd never felt so lost
[B] A picture-perfect life of [Bm] lying, and they didn't know that I was [D#m] dying _
See, I left [D] everything behind, a husband [F#] I could call mine
Kind [B] of, and that's a problem
[Bm] And yeah, everybody's got them, [F#] but I'm not one to up and [B] quit
And I got tired of faking [C#] it, escaped into the night
I'm ready [F#] just to finally be the girl who [C#] says yes to what she feels [D#m] instead
No more breaking into pieces [F#] on the ground
I have heard that there's a light in [C#] me, like a mighty fire that's burning free
[D#m] So I'll chase it till the day my [F#] heart stops [C#] beating
They [D#m] can wish that I would die, but [F#] I'm still [C#] breathing
_ [F#] _ _
No [Bm] matter what the cost, _ I don't want to [F#] feel lost
_ [B] _ _ _ [F#] _
_ _ _ _ [B] _ _
_ _ [F#] Who am I alone?
Well, I guess I'm finding out
[B] Cause I feel like I'm a feather floating, [Bm] just spinning round and never [F#] knowing
My mother showed me anger from a darkness deep inside
[B] And my mother's sweet as a pretty flower, [Bm] with no voice to stand up to his [D#m] power
See, Dad taught me [D] to fall in line, to pray and let [A#m] my light shine
Kind of, [B] and that's a problem
And [Bm] yeah, everybody's got them, but [F#] I couldn't take another hit
From his dead religion or [C#] his fist
Escaped into the night just [F#] to finally be the girl who says yes to what she feels instead
[D#m] No more breaking into pieces [F#] on the ground
[F#] I have heard that there's a light in me, like a mighty fire that's burning free
[D#m] So I'll chase it till the day my heart stops [C#] beating
They can wish that I would die, but I'm [B] still breathing
No matter what the cost, I [Bm] _ don't want to feel [D#m] lost
Inside the what if I should've, I could've, I'd done it
[B] Cause a wife is taught to be quiet, [F#] so I tried to stay, [D] but I couldn't fight it
I thought if I was saved and [C#] I obeyed, things would be perfect
[B] But the lying just isn't worth it, when you're hurting and don't deserve it
It feels worthless, but maybe it's worth it
If [G#] I could fly, the girl who says yes to what she feels [Fm] instead
No more breaking into pieces [G#] on the ground
_ I have heard that there's a light in me, like [G] a mighty fire that's burning [Fm] free
So I'll chase it till the day [G#] my heart stops [D#] beating
They [Fm] can wish that I would die, but [G#] I'm still [D#] breathing
They [Fm] can wish that I would die, but [G#] I'm still [D#] breathing _
[G#] _ _ _ No _
_ [C#] matter what the cost, [C#m]
I don't want to [G#] feel lost
I _
[C#] _ _ don't want [G#] to feel _ lost _ _ _ _
[A#] _ _ [G#] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ [B] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
