[Intro] 
C#
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
C#
I'm like a child looking off in the horizon
Ab
I'm like an ambulance that's turning on the sirens
Bbm       Ab        F#
Oh oh oh, I'm still alive
C#
I'm like a soldier coming home for the first time
Ab
I dodged a bullet and I walked across a landmind
Bbm       C#/F       F#
Oh oh oh, I'm still alive
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
     C#             Ab
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
     Bbm                             F#
Just shine a line into the wreckage, so far away, away
 
[Chorus]
                C#5        C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5               Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses 
Ab5
Making my way, my way
                C#5       C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5              Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses
Ab5
Making my way, my way
           C#
My way to you
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
C#
I'm like a junkie tying off for the last time
Ab
I'm like a loser that's betting on his last dime
Bbm       C#/F       F#
Oh oh oh, I'm still alive
C#
I'm like a son that was raised without a father
Ab
I'm like a mother barely keeping it together
Bbm       C#/F      F#
Oh oh oh, I'm still alive
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
C#             Ab
Am I bleeding? Am I bleeding from the storm?
     Bbm                             F#
Just shine a line into the wreckage, so far away, away
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                C#5        C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5               Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses 
Ab5
Making my way, my way
                C#5       C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5              Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses
Ab5
Making my way, my way
 
 
[Bridge]
 
Bb5   Ab5   F#5        C#5
As I walked out on the ledge
Bb5     Ab5       F#5      C#5
Are you scared to death to live?
Bb5    Ab5     F#5    C#5
I been running all my life
        Bb5                Ab5 (C8 on guitar)
Just to find a home that's for the restless
F#5
And the truth that's in the message
Ab5
Making my way, away, away
 
C#5  Ab5  Fm  F# (x2)
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                C#5        C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5               Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses 
Abm
Making my way, my way
                C#5       C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5              Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#
My head's above the rain and roses
Ab5
Making my way, my way
 
              C#5          C#/C
Cause I'm still breathing
                Bb5               Ab5
Cause I'm still breathing on my own
   F#5
My head's above the rain and roses 
Ab5
Making my way, my way
          C#
My way to you
