• Song:

    Half Alive

  • Artist:

    Secondhand Serenade

  • Album:

    Awake

so far no tab has been right, yes the chords are D, Bm, A & G, but what no one has 
realised is that the guitar is tuned down 2 steps, so the D chord now becomes an E 
chord, the Bm is C#, A is a B & the G is an A.
played like this...

              E  C# B  A
e down to D   0  0  0  0
B down to A   0  0  0  0
G down to F   9  6  4  2
D down to C   9  6  4  2
A down to G   7  4  2  0
E down to D   0  x  x  x

i know it sucks to untune your guitar but if u wanna play it right then thats how its done.
& im only doing the chords, not the picking. im 100% sure that they are the right chords,
im not 100% sure if ive put them all in the right places.. so play along with the song 
then you'll
know if im right.
thankyou

Verse 1:
      E                         C#
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
                    B
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
    A
I don't know if I'm home
          E
Or if I lost the way into your room
      C#
I'm spiraling into my doom
      B                            A
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
                   B
You and I will be free,
     C#
To live and die by our own rules,
 E
Free..
   A
Despite the fact that men are fools.

Chorus:
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.


Verse 2:

E-C#-B-A

        E
Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
 C#                                B
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
    A
At least 'til yesterday,
              E
You know you caught me off my highest guard,
  C#
Believe me when I say it's hard.
       B
We'll get through this tonight
            A                         B
And I know one day you and I will be free
    C#
To live and die by our own rules,
  E
Free..
  A
Despite the fact that men are fools.

Chorus:
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Bridge:
B                               C#
And you touch my hand ever so slightly
Girl we're not ready for this yet
B                                 A
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
   B        C#     B       A
I won't regret. I won't regret...

            E              B
And I was trying to disappear,
                           A
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
          E            B
I was trying to disappear
                         A
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

Chorus: 1 strum
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Chorus: strumming
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
             C#      B        A
I need to survive tonight, tonight

Ends on E
