[VERSE 1]
F#m          C#m    D
   I was born   in a thunderstorm
F#m       C#m    D
   I grew up overnight
F#m          C#m
   I played alone,
              D             A/C#    Bmadd9 | |
   I'm playing on my own, I survived,       hey
F#m           C#m         D
   I wanted ev - erything I never had,
F#m             C#m          D
   like the love   that comes with life
F#m         C#m        D
   I wore En - vy and I hated that,
            C# | |
   but I survived.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
        F#m                 C#m             D
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
          F#m                   C#m                  D
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
   F#m                        C#m           D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
            C# | |
but I'll survive.

[VERSE 2]
F#m        C#m       D
   I found solace in the strangest place,
F#m               C#m      D
   way in the back   of my mind.
F#m      C#m        D                C#
   I saw my life in a stranger's face  and it was mine.

where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
   F#m                        C#m           D
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
