Chords for Steven Curtis Chapman - I'm Alive (Official Video)

[C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ On January 5th, 2022, _ I headed into the Sound Emporium [F#] recording studio [C#] in Nashville, Tennessee
with a heart full of songs and some of my favorite musicians in the world, including
my sons Caleb and Will Franklin from my favorite rock band, Colony House, to begin production
on a new album.
I [G#] decided this was the best song to come out swinging with, [C#m] an anthem of hope and life
forged in the [C#] fires of the last few difficult, painful, and challenging years.
Yet for those of us who are still [G#] moving forward by the grace of [C#] God, a powerful reminder to
breathe deep [G#] every breath we get and [C#] remember, I'm alive. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I've [A#m] been thinking and thinking till I [C#] just don't know what to think anymore. _
And I've been trying [A#m] to figure it all [C#] out, pounding my fist on the floor.
But [A#m] I'm not giving in to [F#] this fear, this pain.
[A#m] These tears in my eyes means [F#] there's blood in my veins.
I'm [C#] alive. _
I wanna taste [F#] every tear that [C#] falls.
[A#m]
I wanna [C#] face every fear that _ [A#m] calls my [G#] name.
I'm gonna stand and [F#] say I'm [C#] alive.
I'm gonna take [F#] every breath I [C#] get.
_ [A#m] I guess the [C#] best is yet to [A#m] come.
I wanna [G#] live with every heart [A#m] beating and [G#] burning me.
I'm [C#] alive. _ _ _ _ _
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I've been holding [C#] my breath with this ache in my chest for a miracle to come.
_ That takes away all [A#m] this pain, lifts [C#] me up the way, lets me see it all from [Fm] above. _
I [A#m] know that day's coming, the [F#] tears are all gone, but my [A#m] brave heart will keep [F#] beating strong.
I'm [C#] alive.
_ I wanna taste [F#] every tear that [C#] falls.
[A#m] I wanna face [C#] every fear that [A#m] _ calls my [C#] name.
I'm gonna stand and say I'm alive.
I'm gonna take [F#] every breath I [A#m] get. _
I guess the [C#] best is yet to come.
I wanna [G#] live with every heart [A#m] beating and [G#] burning me.
I'm [A#m] alive. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _
_ _ _ I'm [A#m] alive. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
We all [C#] come screaming into this world, wondering if we're gonna survive.
[F#] _ _ _
Then we [C#] discover the laughter, but it's not too long after the bright days turn to night. _
And we [A#m] carry this longing for [F#] it all to be well.
[C#] Till it is, let's remember.
[F#] We've got a story to tell.
We're alive.
[G#] _
[C#] So let's taste every [F#] tear that [A#m] falls.
Stand and face [C#] every fear that _ calls our name.
Sing a song and say we're alive.
We gotta take every [F#] breath God [A#m] gives.
I guess the best [C#] is yet to _ _ come.
I wanna live [G#] _
with [F#] every heart [A#m] beating and [G#] burning us.
We [C#] are alive. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F#] Yeah, we are.
