Chords for James Blunt - How It Feels To Be Alive [Official Lyric Video]

[B] _ _ When [Bm] my heart [F#] doesn't [G] beat anymore
And [D] my [F#] body's [Bm] cold
You will walk, [F#] dressed in black [G] to my door
And [D] the bells [F#] will toll
[Bm]
You used my love like an [A] open vein
Just when I thought it [G] would heal
_ _ [B] Back you came
[F#] Seeing [Bm] you again for the first time
Trying to look ahead and not behind
Raging as you do [G] against the tide
Knowing that you're his [Em] instead of mine
Getting used to being [Bm] hurt again
Every day is closer [D] to the [Bm] end
Holding back the tears I [E] need to cry
Waiting to breathe [G] for the last time
Yeah, that's how it feels [Bm] to be alive
_ [A] _ _ [G] _
[Em] That's how it feels [Bm] to be alive
[A] At _ [G] _ [Em] _
_ [Bm] my grave, [F#] they did say [G] one last verse
About [D] the new [F#] love that [Bm] you found
_ And I lay [F#] in the rain [G] by the church
_ [D] And they lured [F#] me into [Bm] the ground
You stole my heart as your [A] souvenir
Thought that you would never [G] come back
But now [B] you're here
[F#] Seeing you again for [Bm] the first time
Trying to look ahead [Bm] and not behind
Raging as you do [G] against the tide
Knowing that you're his [Em] instead of mine
Getting used to being [Bm] hurt again
Every day is closer to the end
Holding back the tears I [E] need to cry
Waiting to breathe [G] for the last time
Yeah, that's how it feels [Bm] to be alive
[A] _ _ [G] _ [Em] Yeah, that's how it feels to [Bm] be alive
[A] _ _ [G] _ [Em] Yeah, that's how it feels to [Bm] be alive
_ [A] That's [G] _ [Em] how it feels to [Bm] be alive
_ [A] _ _ [G] _ [Em] That's how it feels [Bm] to be alive
_ _ [B] _ _ _ _
