Intro: G
Verse:
G Am G F
If I could write to the kid I was before,
G Am G
I'd tell him you'll get everything you ever wanted,
G F
But you will still want more.
G
Someone's going to tell you
Am G
Who you should want to be
F C
So you'll forget the vision that they didn't want to see
G Am G
And when they give up, cause they will give up say
F
Here I am alive.
G
They say you don't grow up
Am G
You just grow old,
F C
It's safe to say I haven't done both
G Am G
I made mistakes, I know, I know
F
But here I am alive.
G Am G
So many people close to me cut me down,
F C
This is supposed to be a bad luck town
G Am G
I jumped, I fell, I hit the ground.
F
But here I am alive.
G
Verse:
(Same chords as first verse)
If I could write to myself
When I was on top of it all,
I'd say you're going overboard
and when you're falling
You're gonna feel so small,
Someone's gonna tell you that you deserve the worst,
They'll say you're never coming back
And tell you that you're cursed.
And when they give up, cause they always give up.
Say, here I am alive.
Chorus (2x)
G Am G
And when they give up, cause they will give up
F C
Say: Here I am alive!
G Am G
When they give up, cause they always give up
F C
Say: Here I am alive!
C
G Am G
Here I am alive!
F C
Here I am alive!
G Am G
Here I am alive!
F C G
Here I am alive!
Am G F
If I could write to the kid I was before
