[Intro]
 
F#m   E   D x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
F#m    E          D
I was born in a thunderstorm,
F#m    E       D    F#m         E
I grew up overnight, I played alone,
            D                Bm
I'm playing on my own, I survived.
    F#m       E             D
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
F#m       E          D
like the love that comes with life
F#m    E          D
I wer'e envy and I hated it,
          C#
but I survived.
 
 
[Pre Chorus]
 
      F#m                 E            D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
           F#m                   E                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    F#m                        E             D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             C#
but I'll survive.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
F#m       E               D
 I found solace in the strangest place,
F#m          E          D
 way in the back of my mind.
F#m        E           D            C#
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.
 
 
[Pre chorus]
 
      F#m                 E           D
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
           F#m                   E                     D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
    F#m                        E            D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
             C#
but I'll survive.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive.
 
 
[Reprise]
 
F#m               E
 You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
A                D
You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
F#m               E
 You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
A                D
You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
A                E
You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
F#m               D
 You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
F#m               E
 You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
A                D
You took it all, but I'm still breathing.
 
Bridge:
Bm
I had made every single mistake
  F#m                 E
that you could ever possibly make.
  Bm
I took and I took and I took what you gave
     F#m                   E
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
   Bm
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
F#m                          E
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
   Bm
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
   F#m                E  C#
And all in spite of you
 
[Chorus]
 
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
            F#m  E               D   B
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
(You took it all but I'm still breathing. You took it all but I'm still breathing.)
 
 
[Outro]
 
I'm alive.
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D
I'm alive,
      A   E   F#m   D
I'm alive,
      F#m   E   A   D   F#m
I'm alive.

The last line of the first verse is: I wore Envy and I hated that But I survived And also, for all the pre-choruses, the first line is: I had a one way ticket to a place where all the demons go Other than that, good tab!

:/ The lyrics are wrong though

In the verse it sounds more like a C#m than a E. Or is it just me?
