Em Imagine this: we make things right Am E So beautiful, we cling tonight Em D To all our dreams, we pin them up Am E We lose our minds if we lose our hope We swear to change, but we bottle it Stick to our guns and all our sins We bury fear, we drink to it We might cheat death if we worship it Chorus: C Am E So we can stay alive C Am E Our sex, our power, our drive C Am E We lose ourselves inside C Am F So we can feel alive You're the one who should be on trial For all your hate and your denial Be careful what it is you break Every broken thing can't be fixed And all those fragile things we are They find their voice, they find their power They take a grip around your throat They keep squeezing till your life runs out Chorus F (Masochistic victim sadist C Victor vanquish valour sadness D G Lust and love, our lives, our blindness) F (We can feel alive) C All alone we fight the fear G By ourselves in every way F (We can feel alive) C All our lust, all our greed G All our hate, we're on our knees F (We can feel) Hear us beg, hear us pray Chorus: We can stay alive We can stay alive We can stay alive We can stay alive We can stay alive We can stay alive You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsAm  C  D  E  Em  F  G  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
