[Intro]
C#m Abm A
 
[Verse 1]
C#m    Abm      A
I was born in a thunderstorm
C#m    Abm      A
I grew up overnight
C#m       Abm          A
I played alone I played on my own
        Ab7
But I survived
 
Hey
C#m       Abm      A
I wanted everything I never had
C#m        Abm      A
Like the love that comes with light
C#m     Abm        A
I wore envy and I hated that
         Ab
But I survived
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m              Abm               A
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
          C#m
Where the wind don't change
     Abm                   A
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
     C#m
No hope, just lies
             Abm                  A
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
     Ab7
But I survived
 
[Chorus]
           C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
 
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
 
[Verse 2]
C#m       Abm           A
I found solace in the strangest place
C#m          Abm      A
Way in the back of my mind
C#m         Abm             A
I saw my life in a stranger's face
      Ab7
And it was mine
 
[Pre-Chorus]
             C#m              Abm               A
I had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go
          C#m
Where the wind don't change
     Abm                   A
And nothing in the ground can ever grow
     C#m
No hope, just lies
             Abm                  A
And you're taught to cry into your pillow
     Ab7
But I survived
 
[Chorus]
           C#m
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
 
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E A
I'm alive
      C#m B E
I'm alive
A
Yeah
 
[Post-Chorus]
C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
C#m                   B
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
E                     A
You took it all, but I'm still breathing
 
[Post-Chorus]
F#m
I have made every single mistake
C#m                      B
That you could ever possibly make
F#m
I took and I took and I took what you gave
C#m                        B
But you never noticed that I was in pain
F#m
I knew what I wanted; I went out and got it
C#m                            B
I did all the things that you said that I wouldn't
F#m
I told you that I would never be forgotten
C#m            B       Ab
And all in spite of you
 
[Chorus]
                 C#m  E              A  C#m
And I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
            C#m  B                E   A
I'm still breathing, I'm still breathing
      C#m                             B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
E                          A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
C#m                                  B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
E                           A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
C#m                               B
I'm alive (You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
 E                          A
(You took it all, but I'm still breathing)
      N.C.
I'm alive
