Bm              F#m
Seems like only yesterday
Asus2             E
Life belonged to runaways
Bm              F#m             Asus2 E
Nothing here to see, no looking back
Bm          F#m
Every sound monotone
Asus2        E
Every color monochrome
Bm             F#m           Asus2 E
Life began to fade into the black
Bm            F#m
Such a simple animal
Asus2           E
Sterilized with alcohol
Bm             F#m       Asus2 E
I could hardly feel me anymore
Bm            F#m
Desperate and meaningless
Asus2              E
All filled up with emptiness
Bm              F#m               Asus2 E
Felt like everything was said and done

Chorus:
G                   A                     B
I lay there in the dark, and I closed my eyes
     G            A             B
You saved me the day you came alive

Still I try to find my way
Spinning hours into days
Burning like a flame behind my eyes
Drown in out, drink it in
Crown the king of suffering
Prisoner, a slave to the disguise
Disappear the only thing
Bittersweet surrendering
Knew that it was time to say goodbye

Chorus:
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive
No reason left me to survive
You saved me the day you came alive

       D           C#          B
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive

Chorus:
I lay there in the dark and I closed my eyes
You saved me the day you came alive

       G                      F#
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
       E                       D
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
       C#                      C
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
       C                                 B
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come a-

B
Nothing more to give
I can finally live
       E
Come alive

B
Your life into me
I can finally breathe
       E
Come alive

Chorus:
   B                A
I lay there in the dark
               E
And opened my eyes
     B            A             E
You saved me the day you came alive

       G                      F#
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
       E                       D
Come alive, come alive, come alive, come alive
       C#                      C
Come alive, come alive, come alive-
