Em                B                  C
I couldn't stay away, an obvious mistake
                       G
I could've saved some face
    B        Em
I thought I knew
                       B
That in this painful place
                    C
I might find some grace
                G        B
But mercy is a lie they tell you
Em               B
I can't read my minds in pieces
C
I'm still breathing
 G        B
Now just seeing

      Am   B
The trouble
    Em
In doubt
   D                Am B
It always lead you into
    C
Or out

Chorus:
Em
Afraid that you can't climb higher
B
Scared that your gonna fall
C
Every time the road gets harder
G              B
The Art of Survival
Em
How can I fly with eagles
B
Scared I'm gonna hit the wall
C
Today I woke up a fighter
G              B
The Art of Survival

    Em
The Art of Survival
    B
The Art of Survival

Dreams get poisoned in your brain
Yeah, the enemy's the same
Deadly weapons that are formed against you
And your obvious mistake, it cuts just like a blade
Hearing all the friends you made say they made you

Trouble, in doubt
It always leads you into, or out

Chorus

    Em
The Art of Survival
    B
The Art of Survival
    C
The Art of Survival
    G         B
The Art of Survival

    Em
The Art of Survival
(The Art of Survival)
Afraid I
    B
The Art of Survival
(The Art of, The Art of Survival)
Can't
    C
The Art of Survival
Climb high-
    G          B
The Art of Survival
(Maybe I was, maybe I was born a fighter)

Chorus
