Verse:  

F           Dm 
Everyone is sleeping 

F             Dm 
Everything is perfect 

            B 
This is our chance 

            C 
This is our time 

                Am 
Come, come real quick 

           B           C 
Let's feel alive, feel alive 


F               Dm 
We're no longer babies 

F                  Dm 
Pure, pristine, un-broken 

                B 
So learn how to walk 

                      C 
But all we want is to fly 

            Am 
The game is fixed 

                 B            C            F       B 
But that's being alive, being alive, being alive.... 

             F       B 
That's being alive....
