Capo 1 fret

[Verse]
 
E                F    G
Never again will I be dishonored
    E                F    G
And never again will I be reminded
      E                 F            G
We're living within the world of the jaded
     C
They killed inspiration
 
It's my obligation
   E            F             G
To never again, allow this to happen
 E
Where do I begin?
    F           G
The choices are endless
  E
Denying the sin
   F       G
My art, my redemption
   C
I carry the torch of my fathers before me
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E               G            C               D
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
           E          G          C                   D
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
   E                  G
To change myself, I'd rather die
C                          D
Though they will not understand
       E                 G
I will make the greatest sacrifice
C                           D
You can't predict where the outcome lies
                      E
You'll never take me alive
     C
I'm alive
     E
I'm alive
     C
I'm alive
 
 
[Verse]
 
E              F        G
Danger, then, cannot be considered
   E           F            G
I rage again, dispelling my anger
 E
Where do I begin?
    F           G
The choices are endless
    C
My art, my redemption, my only salvation
   E                  F           G
I carry the gift that I have been blessed with
    E                F          G
My soul is adrift in notions of madness
  E                     F        G
Repairing the rift that you have created
C
I am not alone, brothers, give me your arms now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E               G            C               D
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
           E          G          C                   D
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
   E                  G
To change myself, I'd rather die
C                          D
Though they will not understand
       E                 G
I will make the greatest sacrifice
C                           D
You can't predict where the outcome lies
                      E
You'll never take me alive
 
G-D-A
 
 
[Verse]
 
G
I'm no slave
 
Are you feeling brave?
                             D      A
Or have you gone out of your mind?
G
No more games
 
It won't feel the same
                      D      A
If I hold my anger inside
G
There's no meaning
 
My soul is bleeding
                        D      A
I've had enough of your kind
G
One suggestion, use your discretion
                    D      A
Before you label me blind
 
 
[Chorus]
 
     E               G            C               D
The thing I treasure most in life cannot be taken away
           E          G          C                   D
There will never be a reason why I will surrender to your advice
   E                  G
To change myself, I'd rather die
C                          D
Though they will not understand
       E                 G
I will make the greatest sacrifice
C                           D
You can't predict where the outcome lies
                      E
You'll never take me alive
     C
I'm alive
     E
I'm alive
     C
I'm alive
     E
I'm alive
     C
I'm alive
     E
I'm alive
     C
I'm alive
     E
I'm alive
