verse 1 
           C         Am Em 
I was drowning in my misery 
           C                   Am   Em 
Couldn’t see the forest for a tiny tree 
           C         Am      Em 
I felt your heartbeat next to me 
                  C           Am    Em 
But I closed my eyes and I couldn’t see 

Bridge 
C               D         Em 
You dried the ocean surrounding me 
C               D         Em 
You burned the forest ashes at my feet 
C               D         Em 
You sped my heart a thousand beats 
C               D         Em 
I saw your lips press into me 

Em           C 
I’m alive again 
      D         Em 
I’m alive I’m alive 
Em           C 
I'm alive again 
      D         Em 
I'm alive I'm alive 
Em           C 
I'm alive again 
      D         Am 
I'm alive I'm alive 
Em           C 
I'm alive again

I'm alive I'm alive 

verse 2 
           C             Am    Em 
I was climbing to the highest peak 
                         C             Am   Em 
But when I reached the top my mind it said to me 
                      C             Am   Em 
Everybody who falls down can’t live perfectly 
                C               Am   Em 
Looking at my feet I guess I’ll never be 

Alive again 
C Am   Em 
Alive Again 

Bridge

You burned the forest ashes at my feet 
C               D         Em 
You sped my heart a thousand beats

verse 3 
    C                 Am     Em 
I wish I could turn back the time 
                       C        Am    Em 
And tell myself everything will be alright 
                C           Am    Em 
But even as I stand in the pale moonlight 
                 C           Am    Em 
I wouldn’t even dare for a second try
