[Intro]
F G

[Verse 1]
C
I woke up
G C
You next to me
F
You said Good Morning
G C
Are you free
F
The sun crept in
G Am
For one last time
F Gsus4 G
I was alive the day I died
C
The clock struck noon
G C
But did not care
F
I saw a child
G C
In my old chair
F G Am
A shadow fell across your face
F
But all the years
Gsus4 G
Could not erase

[Chorus]
F G C
I was alive, I was alive
F
You pulled me close
G C
I held you tight
F E7 Am7 D7
Though my smiles told a few lies
F G C
I was alive, the day I died

[Verse 2]
G C
I was the first to see a star
F
It seemed so close
G C
It was so far
F
Wind started to roar
G Am
Screamed time to go
F
You know all you need
Gsus4 G
You need all you know

[Chorus]
F G C
I was alive, I was alive
F
You pulled me close
G C
I held you tight
F E7 Am7 D7
Though my smiles told a few lies
F G C
I was alive, the day I died

[Bridge]
F Em
Oh Sweet Angel you call
Am D
Oh Sweet Angel you call
F/A G/B
Oh Sweet Angel

[Verse 3]
C
White went black
G C
Black went white
F
Universe cracked
G C
I saw the light
F
You called my name
E7 Am7
I did not respond
F
But I heard you well
Gsus4 G
Carried you on

[Outro]
N.C.
Midnight came and I was gone
C
The planet shrugged and moved along
F E7 Am7 D7
A few people noticed and sang my songs
F G Am
I was alive, the day I died
F G F G
I was alive the day I died

[Ending]
