D                    C    Em
Are we better off believing
                       D
What the ignorance suggests?
                       Am       Em
I wish living life was easy (Mhm)
                     D
But mine has been a mess

They say it comes with the seasons (Mhm)
But the seasons come and go (They go)
I go blurry when I'm thinking
Is it me or vertigo?

             Am              G
Criticized, who am I to give up?
     D
I’m breathing, what's the reason to let up?
             Am               G
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite get up

Chorus:
         D  C
Are we alive?
           Em  D
Or are we dreaming?
              D C
After the ride
         Em  D
Are you leaving?
         Am
Are we alive? (Riding this, riding in this)
            Em     D
Or are we dreaming? (Riding this, riding in this)
           Am
After the ride
         Em   D
Are you leaving? (Riding this, riding in this)
Yeah

I've been better off than broken
I’ve been battered, I've been beat
I wish I was more outspoken
But the words are out of reach
Bmm, thought I loved you in the moment
I was happy, I was young
I've been learning, I've been growing
But the worst is yet to come

Criticized, who am I to give up? (Who am I?)
I'm breathing, what's the reason to let up?
Sympathize, who am I to give up?
Putting on my favorite get up

Chorus

D                   C
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I've been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I've been falling with my
D                  Am
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I’ve been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I’ve been falling with my
D                   C
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I've been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I've been falling with my
D                  Am
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I’ve been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I been, I been, I been
D                   C
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I've been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I've been falling with my
D                  Am
Eyes closed, eyes closed, I’ve been falling with my
Em              D
Eyes low, eyes low, I’ve been falling with my
