[Verse 1]
Bb          F
I'm still alive
                 C        C
Must have been a miracle
Bb                   F
It's been a hell of ride
              C
Destination still unknown
         C
It's a fact of life
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
            Dm                      C           F
If you make one wrong move with the gun to your head
           F/A                          Bb            Bb  Dm  C
You better walk the line or you'll be left for dead
 
 
[Chorus]
      Bb                Dm
I'm a runaway train on broken track
      C                          C                    Bb
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
       Dm
That's right
      C                         C
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
 
        Dm                    C
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
            F                 Bb            Bb
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
           Dm                         C
As long as Hot blood runs through my veins
           F -> Bb  F  C  C
I'm still alive
 
 
[Verse 2]
Bb           F
Lost in the night
              C        C
Feeling so invisible
Bb              F
Oh, a dead man walking the wire
                  C
I have broke the devils net
       C
That's made of fire
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
           Dm                     C          F
And it's a long way down from the top of the world
           F/A                   Bb               Bb Dm C
You better look around or you gonna get burned
 
 
[Chorus]
      Bb                Dm
I'm a runaway train on broken track
      C                          C                    Bb
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
       Dm
That's right
      C                         C
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
 
        Dm                    C
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
            F                 Bb            Bb
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
           Dm                      C
And as the dust clears look in my eyes
            F
I'm still alive
 
 
[Solo]
Dm - Bb - F - C (x2)
 
 
[Bridge]
Ab
   The darkest night ain't black enough
Cm
   To keep the morning light from shinin'
Ab
   The highest wall ain't tall enough
Cm
   To keep the smallest man from climbin'
Ab
   The more that you resist the tide
               Cm
   The more it pulls you in
                                  Bb
   The more you hang on for your life
 
 
[Solo]
Gm - Dm - Gm - F - Gm - F - Ab   Bb     Bb Dm C

I'm a runaway train on broken track
      C                          C                    Bb
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
       Dm
That's right
      C                         C
I got away with it all and I'm still alive
 
      Bb                Dm
I'm a runaway train on broken track
      C                          C                    Bb
I'm a ticker on a bomb, that you can't turn back this time
       Dm
That's right

I got away with it all and I'm still alive
 
        Dm                    C
Let the end of the world come tumbling down
            F                 Bb            Bb
I'll be the last man standing on the ground
           Dm                   C
And if my shadow's all that survives
          F -> Dm  Bb  F  C
I'm still alive
            Dm  Bb  F  C
I'm still alive
 
 
I'm still alive...

I'm still alive...
         Dm                     Bb
(Let the end of the world come tumbling down)
             F                       C
(I'll be the last man standing...)
            F
I'm still alive...

Hi Perry. I've been playing this song and the A chord in the pre-chorus seems off. Please advise if this should be a different chord. Thank you in advance for your help.
