Rina Sawayama - To Be Alive

[Verse 1]
G Em
Flowers still look pretty when they’re dying
Am D
Blue skies always there behind the rain, rain
G Em
Oceans swallow all of our feelings
Am D
I know it’s just temporary pain, pain

[Pre-Chorus]
G
‘Cause I used to make my world so small (Small)
Em
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
Am
I never thought that I’d get this right
D
But I finally know what it feels like

[Chorus]
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G G/F# F Em
To bе alive

[Instrumental]
G G/F# F Em

[Verse 2]
G Em
Darkness used to wrap its arms around me
Am D
I used to bring it with me everywhere, where
G
I swear that sometimes I get to be my worst enemy
Em
I swear this whole time, the answer’s been right in front of me
Am
All of the beauty and love I could not see
D
I see it now, I see it now

[Pre-Chorus]
G
‘Cause I used to make my world so small
Em
Prisoner to my bedroom walls
Am
I never thought that I’d get this right
D
But I finally know what it feels like

[Chorus]
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G Em
To be alive, to be alive
Am
Opened my eyes, feels like the first time
D
That I finally know what it feels like
G G/F# F Em
To bе alive

Flowers still look pretty when they’re dying

Oh, flowers still look pretty when they’re dying

Oh, flowers still look pretty when they’re dying
