     C                        G2
It?s four AM I?m waking up to your perfume 
                  G
Don?t get up I?ll get through on my own 
  F
I don?t know if I?m home 
        C
Or if I lost my way into your room 
    G2
I?m spiraling into my doom 
    G                             F
I?m 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
I?m almost alive
                  A
And I need you to try 
    F
And save me 
     C                C2
It?s okay that we?re dying 
                 A      G        F ? C ? G2 ? G - F 
But I need to survive tonight, tonight 


     C
Well excuse me while I get killed softly 
G2                                
Heart slows down and I can hardly 
G
Tell you I?m okay 
   F
At least ?til yesterday 
             C
You know you caught me off my highest guard 
G2
Believe me when I say it?s hard 
      G
We?ll 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) 

G                          A        F
        And you touch my hand ever so slightly 

Girl we?re not ready for this yet 
G                         A             F 
        And the deadly look she cast upon me 

No I won?t regret 
  G     A  F
I won?t regret 
  G     A  F
I won?t 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) 

End:
             A      G        F ? G - C
I need to survive tonight, tonight
