[Verse 1]
Bm F#7 G
When my heart doesn't beat anymore
D F#7 Bm
And my body's cold
Bm F#7 G
You will walk, dressed in black, to my door
D F#7 Bm
And the bells will toll
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m/A
You use my love like an open vein
G
Just when I thought it would heal
F#7sus4
Back you came
[Chorus]
F#7 Bm
Seeing you again for the first time
Bm7/A
Tryna look ahead and not behind
G
Raging as you do against the tide
Em
Knowing that your his instead of mine
Bm
Getting used to being hurt again
Bm7/A
Every day's closer to the end
E/G#
Holding back the tears I need to cry
G
Waiting to breathe for the last time
Bm Bm7/A G
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Em Bm Bm7/A G Em
That's how it feels to be alive
[Verse 2]
Bm F#7 G
At my grave, they did say one last verse
D F#7 Bm
'Bout the new love that you found
Bm F#7 G
And I lay in the rain by the church

D F#7 Bm
And they lured me into the ground
[Pre-Chorus]
Bm F#m/A
You stole my heart as your souvenir
G
Thought that you would never come back
F#7sus4
But now you're here
[Chorus]
F#7 Bm
Seeing you again for the first time
Bm7/A
Tryna look ahead and not behind
G
Raging as you do against the tide
Em
Knowing that your his instead of mine
Bm
Getting used to being hurt again
Bm7/A
Every day's closer to the end
E/G#
Holding back the tears I need to cry
G
Waiting to breathe for the last time
Bm Bm7/A G
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Em Bm Bm7/A G
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Em Bm
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
[Outro]
Bm7/A G
(Outside waiting in the cold again)
(I'm outside waiting to be held again)
Em Bm
Yeah, that's how it feels to be alive
Bm7/A G
(Outside standing on my own again)
Em Bm
That's how it feels to be alive
