                      F#m                 A
From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
            E             F#
Confusing stars for satellites
         F#m                   A
I never dreamed that you'd be mine
             E                 F#
But here we are, we're here tonight

        A    E       F#
Singing Amen I, I'm alive
        A    E       F#
Singing Amen I, I'm alive

Chorus:
             D                 A
If everyone cared and nobody cried,
             E                F#m
If everyone loved and nobody lied,
              D                          A
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride,
              E
We'd see the day, when nobody died
And I'm singing
F#m    A       E       F#
A-Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive
     F#m     A       E      F#
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I'm alive

And in the air, the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We'll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I
I'm alive (I'm alive)
Singing Amen, I
I am alive

Chorus:
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

D A E F#m             D A E F#m
        When nobody died

          F#m               A
And as we lie beneath the stars
       E                F#
We realize how small we are
              F#m                A
If they could love like you and me
          E                   F#
Imagine what the world could be

Chorus:
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we'd see the day when nobody died

We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day, we'd see the day
When nobody died
We'd see the day when nobody died (Died)
