INTRO: D5

D5                   E5
Never in all of my life
             A5                       D5
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
      D5
on a Saturday night,
        E5                        A5            Ab5     D5
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."


            D5                      E5
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
      D5                           E5
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.


    A5                         D5         A5
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.


   D5                             E5
We met up once we'd settled the sun
    A5        Ab5 
Between the heat and the work week
    D5
The fear is we could use some sleep
    D5                      E5
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
         A5       Ab5           D5
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.


         D5                       E5
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
        D5                         E5
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
             D5                            E5
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
         D5                            E5
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.


     A5
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D5                               D5 * E5 * F#5 * E5 * D5 *
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
    A5                         D5
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.


D5                     E5
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
     A5
and one of us has nothing at all.
      D5
So he calls us all sheep
         E5                     A5
I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
        D5                            E5
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
           A5                Ab5          D5
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.


            D5
We were the get rich quick kids,
    E5
We never got it right
       D5                         E5
So we settled for the center in town
               D5                      E5
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
         D5                    E5
got the blond one staring me down.
       D5                   E5
and I really wanna take a swing
         A5          Ab5          D5
I can't help but remember James Dean
            D5                    E5
See we are part of the few who agree
              D5
that hey, he lived life fast
        E5
but he died.

he died.

he died.


                      A5
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
     A5                         D5       A5
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)



     A5
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D5                                            A5
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

and for the first time,
                D5
in a long time,
              A5
I feel alive.
