[C#m] [G#m] [A] [C#m]
[G#m] [A] [C#m]
[G#m] I was born [A] in a thunderstorm [C#m]
I [G#m] grew up [A] overnight
[C#m]
I [G#m] played alone, [A] I played on my own [G#] But I survived
[C#m] Hey, I [G#m] wanted [A] everything I never had [C#m]
[G#m] Like the love that [A] comes with life
[C#m]
[G#m] I wore envy [A] and I hated that [G#] But I survived
I [C#m] had a one-way [G#m] ticket to a place [A] where all the demons go
Where the wind don't [G#m] change and nothing in the [A] ground can ever grow
[C#m] No hope, just [G#m] lies and you're taught to [A] cry in your pillow
[G#] But I survived
But [C#m] I'm still [E] breathing, [A] I'm still [C#m] breathing I'm still [E] breathing, [A] I'm still [F#] breathing
[C#] And I'm [B] alive, [E] [A] [C#] I'm [B] alive [E] [A] [E] I'm [B] [C#m] [A] alive, [C#] I'm [B] [E] [A] alive
[C#m]
I [G#m] found solace [A] in the strangest [C#m] place Way [G#m] in the back of [A] my mind
[C#m]
I [G#m] saw my life [A] in a stranger's [G#] face And it was mine
[C#m] I had a one-way ticket to [G#m] a place [A] where all the demons go
[C#m] Where the wind don't change [G#m] and nothing in [A] the ground can ever grow
[C#m] No hope, just lies and [G#m] you're taught to [A] cry in your pillow
[G#] But I survived
But [C#m] I'm still [E] breathing, [A] I'm still [C#m] breathing I'm still [E] breathing, I'm still [F#] breathing
[C#] And I'm [B] alive, [E] [A]
[C#] I'm [B] [E] [A] alive
[E]
[B] [C#m] [A] [C#]
I [B] [E] [A] [C#m]
took [B] it all but I'm still [E] [A] [C#m]
[B] [E] [A] [C#m]
[B] [E] [A] breathing
[C#m] [B] [E] I [A] [F#m]
never [F#] made a single [C#m] mistake
That you could [B] ever possibly [F#] make
I took and I took and I took what you [C#m] gave
But you never [B] noticed that I was in [F#m] pain
I knew what I wanted I went out and [C#m] got it
Did all the [B] things that you said that I [F#] wouldn't
Told you that I would never
[C#m] [B] [G#]
And [C#m] I'm still [E] breathing
[A] I'm still [C#m] breathing
I'm still [E] breathing
[A] I'm still [C#m] breathing
[E] [A] [C#m]
[G#m] [E] [A] [C#m]
[E] [A]
[G] [C#]
[B] [E] [A] [C#m]
[E] [A] [E]
[B] [C#m] [A] I'm [C#m]
[B] [E] [A] still breathing
