Basically, this is the tutorial from the channel "Quick Guitar Tutorials" but put into tabs, that was what was missing. I know the chorus are the same 4 chords through it, but i like it more like the tab version of "Mnstrk", that goes along with the singing, switching the 2 chords in the third sentence. CAPO ON 2ND FRET.Was this info helpful?
Difficulty: intermediate
Tuning: E A D G B E
Capo: 2nd fret

[INTRO]
 
Em   Bm   C x2
 
 
[VERSE 1]
 
Em      Bm        C
  I was born in a thunderstorm,
 
Em       Bm     C
  I grew up overnight.
 
Em           Bm              C
  I played alone, I'm playing on my own. 
 
     Am
I survived.
 
 
   Em         Bm           C
Hey, I wanted everything I never had,
 
Em         Bm        C
  like the love that comes with life.
 
Em        Bm        C
  I wore envy and I hated it,
 
         B7
but I survived.
 
 
      Em                 Bm               C
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
 
           Em                   Bm                    C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
 
    Em                        Bm             C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
 
             B7
but I'll survive.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
 
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
 
 
[CHORUS]
 
      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive, 
 
      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive, 
 
      G    D   Em  C
I'm alive, 
 
      Em   D   G   C
I'm alive. 
 
 
[VERSE 2]
 
Em         Bm          C
 I found solace in the strangest place,
 
Em          Bm          C
 way in the back of my mind.
 
Em        Bm         C               C#
 I saw my life in a stranger's face and it was mine.
 
 
           Em                 Bm               C
I had one way ticket to a place where all the demons go,
 
           Em                   Bm                    C
where the wind don't change and nothing in the ground can ever grow,
 
    Em                        Bm             C
No hope, just lies and you're taught to cry in your pillow,
 
             B7
but I'll survive.
 
 
[PRE-CHORUS]
 
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
 
          Em  D               C   C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,

[BRIDGE]
 
Am
I had made every single mistake,
 
  Em                 D
that you could ever possibly make.
 
  Am
I took and I took and I took what you gave
 
     Em                    D
but you never noticed that I was in pain.
 
   Am
I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it.
 
Em                          D
Did all the things that you said that I wouldn't,
 
   Am
I told you that I would never be forgotten,
 
   Em                  D   B7
I know that's part of you.

I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing,
