[F#m] [C#m] [D]
[F#m] [C#m] [D]
[F#] I was [C#] [D] born in a thunderstorm
I grew up overnight
[F#] I played alone, [D] I played on my [C#] own I survived
[F#m]
Hey, I wanted [C#m] [D] everything I never had
[F#m] [C#m] Like the love [D] that comes with life
[F#m] I wore [C#m] envy [D] and I hated that
[C#] But I survived
[F#m] I had a one [C#m] way ticket to a place [D] where all the demons go
[F#m] Where the wind [C#m] don't change and nothing [D] on the ground can ever grow
[F#m] No, [C#m] just lies and it's hard to [D] cry in your pillow
[C#] But I survived
[F#m] I'm still [D] [F#m] breathing

[F#m] I [E] [A] [D]
[F#m] [E] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [F#m] [D]
[F#m] [E] [A] [D]
[F#m] found [C#m] solace [D] in the strangest [F#m] place
Way in the back of [D] my mind
[F#m] I saw [C#m] my [D] life in a stranger's [C#] face
And it was mine
[F#m]
I had a one [C#m] way ticket to a place where [D] all the demons go
[F#m] Where the wind don't [C#m] change and nothing on [D] the ground can ever grow
[F#m] No, just [C#m] lies and it's hard to [D] cry in your pillow
[C#] But I survived
[F#] I'm [C#]
[F#m] still breathing
I'm still breathing
[B]
[F#m] [E] Took [A] [D]
[F#m] [E] [A] [D]
[A] [E] [F#m] [D]
[F#m] [E] [A] [D]
[F#m] it [E] [A] [D]
[F#m] [E] [A] [D] all,
[A] [E] but I'm still [F#m] [D]
[F#m] breathing
I [E] [F#m] [Bm]
made every single [F#m] mistake that you could [E] ever possibly [Bm] make
I took and I took and I took what you [F#m] gave
But you never [E] noticed that I was in [Bm] pain
I knew what I wanted, I went and [F#m] did all the [E] things that you said that I [Bm] wouldn't
I told you that I would never be [F#m] in [E] spite of you
