Tuning:Standard
Notes:

1. I usually play the C's and the first Dm of each passage as barre chords, with the 
Dm in first position.

2.There are some rhythm syncopations; I tried to put the chords above exactly where they 
be played in relation to the lyrics, so use your ear.

3d. This is not exact, this is how I play it; the intro, for example, could be taken a 
of ways. Go ahead, make up your own.

Intro:

e|-----5-5-5-5------3-3-3-3------5-5-5-5------3-3-3-3---|
B|-----6-6-6-6------5-5-5-5------6-6-6-6------5-5-5-5---|
G|-2/5-7-7-7-7--2/5-5-5-5-5--2/5-7-7-7-7--2/5-5-5-5-5---|

Verse/Chorus:
     Em
I am alive
     C
I am alive
                Em              C
and that is the best that i can do

                Em
you told me you lied
                   C
you swore you were mine
           Em              C
i took you back a thousand times

            Em
talk of the town
            C
you've been around
             Em               C
if he is the man you want the go

    Em
but tonight we'll leave
C                Em
all our lovers behind
           C            Em
and try to live a quiet life
        C                  Em
my love dress me like a clown

           Em
you are an ass
               C
a snake in the grass
       Em                  C
vanity seeps from out your pores

              Em
and baby it's time
              C
to pay for my crime
          Em               C
nothing i say can make you mine

                      Em
you either sing it in key
            C
or run into me
           Em            C
i can fake it as good as you

    Em
but tonight we'll leave
C              Em
all our spirit songs
                C                  Em
we'll drive and reach the hills by dawn
           C                  Em
my love is dressing me like a clown

    Em
but tonight we'll leave
C                Em
all our lovers behind
           C               Em
and try to live a quiet life
       C               Em
margot dress me like a clown

Em
tonight we'll drink
C             Em
into an early grave
      C                     Em
we'll laugh, we will not be safe
            C                   Em
someone has dressed us all like clowns

             Em
darling it's sin
           C
where do i begin?
            Em             C
putting the contact lenses in

            Em
you say the lights
            C
scurry like mice
               Em
reflect in the streets
              C
and your blue eyes

           Em
out of the roof
             C
wait to grow up
        Em                 C
turn me around and lock me up

                Em
baby you are an ass
               C
a snake in the grass
       Em             C
vanity oozes out your pores
