Verse 1
                 A             E
         I don't know how I survived
                 F#m                               E
         In this cold and empty world for all this time
                D              A    E
         I only know that I'm alive
                     D    A
         Because you love me

Verse 2 (Rest of band)

                      F#m                         E
         There's some things that I wish I didn't do
               D               A    E

         I'm so glad I'm alive
                    G#m?          F#m
         'Cause you showed me the way
               C#7                     D   E
