INTRO: D  
DNever in all of my lEife
Have I seen eAyes as empty as these stDreets of my city
on a SDaturday night,
all the Egreen of your eyes says "AGo, leave it Abmall behiDnd."
But I don't Dneed to be reminded a cEhange is gonna come.
I can Dfeel it on the tip of your tEongue.
And AI feel alive, feel alive, Dfeel aliveA.
We Dmet up once we'd settled the sEun
BetwAeen the hAbmeat and the work week
The Dfear is we could use some sleep
but Dsleep to a superfluous Eman means better use for beds
and I'll Abet I'm Abmcoming home alDone tonight.
I don't nDeed to be reminded this Eis how it was.
I moved Don, I passed a billboard dEown my block
that asks if DI've had enough, and aloud I Esay "I've had too much"
when the Dtruth is, I'm just getting stEarted.
Now aAll the barlights are blinking in time
                               D  D* E* F#* E* D*
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
And AI feel alive, feel alive, Dfeel alive.
DOne of us sings, and oEne of us drinks,
and oAne of us has nothing at all.
So he Dcalls us all sheep
I'm the LEittle Bo Peep of the bAunch.
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
Then he Dswears he's gotta take this cEall
Man, I'm scAared he's gonna lAbmeave us too sDoon.
We were the Dget rich quick kids,
We nEever got it right
So we sDettled for the center in tEown
Where all the rDich white kids is out lEooking for a fight
got the bDlond one staring me dEown.
and I rDeally wanna take a sEwing
I can't hAelp but remAbmember James DDean
See we are pDart of the few who agEree

INTRO:

D E

Never in all of my life

A D

Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city

on a Saturday night,

E A Abm D

all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."

D E

But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.

D E

I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.

A D A

And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

D E

We met up once we'd settled the sun

A Abm

Between the heat and the work week

The fear is we could use some sleep

D E

but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds

A Abm D

and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.

D E

I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.

D E

I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block

D E

that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"

D E

when the truth is, I'm just getting started.

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

D D E F# E D

* * * * *

to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

A D

And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.

D E

One of us sings, and one of us drinks,

and one of us has nothing at all.

So he calls us all sheep

E A

I'm the Little Bo Peep of the bunch.

(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)

D E

Then he swears he's gotta take this call

A Abm D

Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.

We were the get rich quick kids,

We never got it right

D E

So we settled for the center in town

D E

Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight

D E

got the blond one staring me down.

D E

and I really wanna take a swing

A Abm D

I can't help but remember James Dean

D E

See we are part of the few who agree

that hey, he lived life fast

but he died.

he died.

Me, I'm gonna live forever.

A D A

(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)

Now all the barlights are blinking in time

D A

to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement

and for the first time,

in a long time,

I feel alive.
