Dm
There is no way back this time
What is real and what is not?
A#      Gm      Dm
Ooh ooh oh, survival hurts

Dm
Lose myself or lose my mind
Every time I close my eyes
F       C/E     Dm
Ooh ooh oh, survival hurts

    A#       C
But I keep breathing in

Chorus:
     Dm
I'm alive
         A#
I'm not fine
Gm              F           A#
I don't know if I will be alright
       A        Dm
But I have to try
               C
I know you're with me,
    A#                  A
so what if we do fall apart?
Dm
Give into all that we are
     C            A#    C      Dm
And let all the broken pieces shine
Dm
(Shine, shine, shine, shine...)

Shuttered inside, looking out
Everything's turned upside down
Ooh, we're not the first

How can we ever be us?
Wondering who we can trust
Ooh, survival hurts

But I'm not giving in, I'm alive

Chorus:
I'm not fine
I don't know if I will be alright
But I have to try
I know you're with me,
so what if we do fall apart?
Give into all that we are
And let all the broken pieces come alive

I don't know if I will ever be alright
But I have to try...
And I know you're with me,
so what if we do fall apart?
Shamelessly be who we are
And let all the broken pieces shine...
Oh-oh-oh…

(I'm alive)
Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Let all the broken pieces shine
Let all the broken pieces shine
Let all the broken pieces shine
Let all the broken pieces... shine
