  It's C#m}filling me up 
  With new {A}life 
 
  The {E}stars in the G#}sky 
  Bring {E}tears to my G#}eyes 
  They're {A}lighting my way 
  Tonight 
 
  And I {B}haven't felt so {A}alive 
  In {E}years 
 
  {E}Just for a day 
  On a G#}day like today 
  I'll get C#m}away from 
  This constant debau{A}chery 
 
  The {E}wind in my G#}hair 
  Makes {E}me so a{G#}ware 
  Bow {A}good it is to live 
  Tonight 
 
  And I {B}haven't felt so {A}alive 
  In {E}years

{comment: the following as above} 
 
  Oh God, it's raining 
  And I'm not containing 
  My pleasure at being 
  So wet 
  Bere on my own 
  All on my own 
  Bow good it feels to be alone 
  Tonight 
 
  And I haven't felt so alive 
  In years 
 
  The moon 
  Is shining in the sky 
  Reminding me 
  Of so many other nights 
  When my eyes have been so red 
  I've been mistaken for dead 
  But not tonight
