Gm                 Cm
One thing left to try
G#  Gm         G#    Cm
See if you can make it
G#  Gm                Cm
Before you choose the night
Cm       Gm         Cm
And the silence overtakes you
G#      Gm             Cm
If you looked into the fire
G#      Gm       Gm    Cm
And you had that conversation
G#           Gm                 Cm   G#
Then there's one thing left to try
   Fm           D#        Cm Fm D# Gm
If you want to save your life

Cm          Fm             D#
Fear is his name, but his friends still
 Gm       Cm  Fm D# Gm
call him God
Cm          Fm        D#
Again and again the thought remains
G#                               Fm   G# C#
(The only way to get rid of the feeling)

I don't wanna die, wishing I'd done something
More than what's required to last until the sunset
No, I don't wanna die, thinking that I'm dreaming
There's one thing left to try
if you want to change your life

Today I left those thoughts behind, behind
Over and over, you die just to feel alive

G#                              C#
The only way to get rid of the feeling
G#                    Fm   C#
You have to draw the line
      G#              Fm             C#
And remember there's more than you're seeing
G#
Decide

Fm               C#     G#
Do you want to keep us alive?
G#               C#   G#
Do you want to feel alive?
G#               C#   G#
Do you want to keep us alive?
G#               C#   G#
Do you want to feel alive?
(Fun is over tonight)
Fm               C#    G#
Do you want to keep us alive?
(Fun is over tonight)
Fm               C#    G#
Do you want to feel alive?
(Fun is over tonight)
Fm               C#    G#
Do you want to keep us alive?
(Fun is over tonight)
Fm               C#    G#
Do you want to feel alive?
