Capo 1st fret. The slight chord variations make this version sound very close to the original. Sliding the G#add9 down during the transition to the C chord is an optional way to play it that sounds nice. Enjoy.Was this info helpful?

All this other shit I'm talkin' 'bout they think they know it
          Em7                                         G#add9
I've been praying for somebody to save me, no one's heroic
      C
And my life don’t even matter
                   D           Em7
I know it I know it I know I'm hurting deep down but can’t show it
  G#add9      C
I never had a place to call my own
  D           Em7
I never had a home
                        G#add9
Ain't nobody callin' my phone
          C
Where you been? Where you at? What's on your mind?
D              Em7                                 G#add9
They say every life precious but nobody care about mine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
 I've been on the low
       D         Em7
I been taking my time
                G#add9    C
I feel like I'm out of my mind

I want you to be alive

Em
  Now lemme tell you why
 
[Verse 2]
C
  It's the very first breath
     D           Em7                     G#add9
When your head's been drowning underwater
    C
And it's the lightness in the air
     D
When you're there
Em7                         G#add9
Chest to chest with a lover
     C                                 D
It's holding on, though the road's long
           Em7                        G#add9
And seeing light in the darkest things
             C
And when you stare at your reflection
        D       Em7
Finally knowing who it is
                         G#add9
I know that you'll thank God you did
 
[Verse 3]
C                                              D     Em7
I know where you been, where you are, where you goin'
                         G#add9      C
I know you're the reason I believe in life
                         D             Em7
What's the day without a little night?
                                  G#add9
I'm just tryna shed a little light
C               D
  It can be hard
Em7            G#add9
  It can be so hard
C                          D
  But you gotta live right now
Em7                                G#add9
  You got everything to give right now
 
[Pre-Chorus]
C
 I've been on the low
       D         Em7
I been taking my time
                G#add9    C
I feel like I'm out of my mind
                D          Em7
It feel like my life ain't mine
                G#add9
Who can relate?
C
 I've been on the low
       D         Em7
I been taking my time

I feel like I'm out of my mind
                D          Em7
It feel like my life ain't mine
 
[Chorus]
  G#add9        C        D
I finally wanna be alive
  Em7                   G#add9
I finally wanna be alive
C                     D
  I don't wanna die today
Em7                G#add9
  I don't wanna die
C                        D
  I finally wanna be alive
Em7                       G#add9
  I finally wanna be alive

Em
  I don't wanna die

[Outro]
C                   D      Em7    G#add9
Pain don't hurt the same, I know
    C             D      Em7    G#add9
The lane I travel feels alone
        C              D       Em7    G#add9
But I'm moving 'til my legs give out
      C                 D    Em7
And I see my tears melt in the snow
    G#add9        C
But I don't wanna cry
D             Em7         G#add9
I don't wanna cry anymore
C
  I wanna feel alive
        D          Em7
I don't even wanna die anymore
   G#add9       C    D
Oh I don’t wanna
Em7                 G#add9
  I don’t wanna
C         D          Em
  I don’t even wanna die anymore

The G#add9 chord sounds out of place but theres definitely something that goes there, other than that this is a great version

Needs a few tweaks it's ok

Nice one! Thanks for this contribution
