[Verse]
G                D
I was a loser then
F#               Bm
But I'm a winner now
G                 D
I'll do it all again
      F#           Bm
'Cause now I know how
C                  D                  Bm      Abdim
How everything in life comes down to this, at last
    Am         Am7
Surviving and living
F                  G
Determined not to give in
 
[Chorus]
     F          G
And I'm still alive
    Em             Am
My life is rolling on
F            G
Gently, from day to day
Em             A
Memories will fade away
     F          G
Yes, I'm still alive
     Em       Am
The agony is gone
F           G
My mind is slowly waking
Abdim              Am
And my heart has ceased its aching
C         D  G
I'm still alive
 
[Verse]
G                D
I took so many blows
F#               Bm
I cried a sea of tears
G                 D
And only heaven knows
    F#                Bm
How I could stand the fears
C                   D             Bm       Abdim
I think of all the nights I lay alone, and scared
       Am          Am7
All shattered, and crying
   F                G
And thinking I was dying
 
[Chorus]
     F          G
But I'm still alive
    Em             Am
My life is rolling on
F             G
Gently, from day to day
Em             A
Memories will fade away
     F          G
Yes, I'm still alive
     Em       Am
The agony is gone
F           G
My mind is slowly waking
Abdim              Am
And my heart has ceased its aching
C         D  G
I'm still alive
 
     F          G
Yes, I'm still alive
    Em             Am
My life is rolling on
F            G
Gently, from day to day
Em             A
Memories will fade away
     F          G
Yes, I'm still alive
     Em       Am
The agony is gone
F           G
My mind is slowly waking
Abdim              Am
And my heart has ceased its aching
C         D  G
I'm still alive
 
C               C - D - Bm - E
I'm still a...   (guitar solo)
Cm   C     D   G
I'm still alive
