[Intro]
[Em] [D] [C] [x2]
[Verse]
[Em]I was [D]born in a t[C]thunderstorm,
[Em]I grew[D] up over[C]night[Em], I played [D]alone,
I'm playing [C]on my own, I surv[Am]survived.
Hey,[Em]Hey, I wanted[D]wanted everything I [C]never had,
[Em]like the [D]love that c[C]comes with life
[Em]I wer'[D]wer'e envy and [C]I hated it,
but I surv[B]survived.
[Prechorus]
I had [Em]one way ticket to a[D]a place where [C]all the demons go,
where the w[Em]wind don't change and
[D]nothing in the ground [C]can ever grow,
No h[Em]hope, just lies and
you're [D]taught to cry [C]in your pillow,
but I'll surv[B]survive.
[Chorus]
I'm still br[Em]eath[D]ing, I'm still b[C]reat[A]hing,
I'm still br[Em]eath[D]ing, I'm still b[C]reat[A]hing,
I'm al[Em]alive, [D] [G] [C]
I'm al[Em]alive, [D] [G] [C]

[Verse2]
[Em] I found [D]solace in the st[C]strangest place,
[Em] way in the [D]back of my [C]mind.
[Em] I saw my [D]life in a st[C]stranger's face[B]face and it was mine.
[Prechorus]
I had [Em]one way ticket to a[D]a place where[C]where all the demons go,
where the w[Em]wind don't change and [D]
nothing in the ground [C]can ever grow,
No h[Em]hope, just lies and you're [D]taught to cry[C]cry in your pillow,
but I'll surv[B]survive.

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