F# This is a tale of a northern soul Looking to find his way back home He's coming from that same old road You know the one your folks don't know I want to see if you know me I was born in a rented room My mother didn't get no flowers Dad didn't approve of me, do you? Chorus: A I'm alive with something inside of me F# And I don't think I'm coming back A So come on, come in inside of me F# Let's spread it all around Give me your powder and pills I want to see if they cure my ills I've no time for love and devotion No time for old fashioned potion I wanna see if you know me Take a look into my eyes I tell you so many lies and then I'll I'll let you go into the night Chorus: I'm alive with something inside of me And I don't think I'm coming down I'm alive with something inside of me And I can't seem to get it out Listen to this Listen to this Listen to this Listen to this F# I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed I'm gonna die alone in bed Chorus: This is a tale of a northern soul Looking for his way back home And my friend said, "Come in side of me" And your speakers are telling the truth Coming through right into your room on a river of sound This is a tale of a northern soul Looking for his way back home And if he sees it I know I'll know And if he sees it I know I'll know And there's fighting on the street below I know there's fighting on the street below Ah, but I don't care 'cause I'm a northern soul And I'm looking for a way back home And I'm looking for a way back home Too busy staying alive Too busy staying alive Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track of a heart attack) Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's burning, keeping track of a heart attack) Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track of a heart attack) Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's burning, keeping track of a heart attack) Too busy living a lie (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, I'm not coming back) Too busy living my life (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, now I'm coming back) Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, now I'm coming back) Too busy staying alive (it keeps turning, everybody's learning, keeping track, now I'm coming back) (yes I'm coming back, yes I'm coming back) You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  F#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
