Verse 1:
          C
I've been down by the fences
     F             C
I've gambling with lives
        F         C               G     
I'll be long long gone before they come
          C
I've seen troops in the towers
F              C
whatching over you
              F        C              G
but you were long long gone before they came

Chorus:
   Am     F
so how
            C         G
how did you get there alive
       Am    F  
I said how 
             C           G
how did they get me when I

Verse 2:
          C
have been living in your shadow
     F             C  
been trying not to breath to slow
          F       C              G
but I was lost in time before the start
     C             G
been trying not to show you
    Am
how much I really care
     C              G               Am
been living for the moment and fell back and broke in two
    Am/G    F
and still I try
    G                                  Am
the way this story ends still makes my lungs collide
                             Am/G     F  C    G
the way you look at me still makes my stomach turn

Chorus:
   Am   F
so how
            C         G
how did you get there alive
       Am   F
I said how 
             C           G
how did they get me when I

so how
how did you get there alive

Final chorus:
   Am   F
so how
            C         G
how did you get there alive
   Am   F
so how
            C         G
how did you get there alive
   F     C     G
so how
