      C                                  G2
 Its four AM Im waking up to your perfume 
                          G
Dont get up Ill get through on my own 
           F
I dont know if Im home 
                  C
Or if I lost my way into your room 
        G2
Im spiraling into my doom 
          G                                               F
Im feeling half alive but I know one day 
                              C
You and I will be free 
           G2           
To live and die by our own rules
      G
Free 
       F
Despite the fact that men are fools


Chorus:
      C                C2
Im almost alive
                                A
And I need you to try 
           F
And save me 
     C                                 C2
Its okay that were dying 
                        A                       G        F      
But I need to survive tonight tonight 
   
                  *instrumental*                        
                       C  G2 G  F 

        C
Well excuse me while I get killed softly 
   G2                                
Heart slows down and I can hardly 
  G
Tell you Im okay 
    F
At least til yesterday 
                                     C
You know you caught me off my highest guard 
      G2
Believe me when I say its hard 
      G
Well get through this tonight 
                         F                                 C
And I know one day you and I will be free 
         G2
To live and die by our own rules 
    G
Free
       F
Despite the fact that men are fools 

(Chorus) 

      C                C2
Im almost alive
                                A
And I need you to try 
           F
And save me 
          C                             C2
Its okay that were dying 
                        A                       G        F      
But I need to survive tonight tonight 

     G                           A                     F
        And you touch my hand ever so slightly 
              F                       F
Girl were not ready for this yet 
G                                  A                   F
        And the deadly look she cast upon me 
       F
No I wont regret 
  G     A        F
I wont regret 
  G     A        F
I wont regret 

                        C                         G
And I was trying to disappear 
                                           F
But you got me wrapped around you 
                 G                             F
I can hardly breathe without you 
         G              C              G
I was trying to disappear 
                                 F
But I got lost in your eyes now 
               G                          F
You brought me down to size now 


(Chorus x2) 

      C                    C2
Im almost alive
                                A
And I need you to try 
           F
And save me 
     C                                 C2
Its okay that were dying 
                            A                       G        F      
But I need to survive tonight tonight 

End:
                      A                 G                F     G  C
I need to survive tonight  tonight
