D#I breathe, I hear
BBut I don’t believe it
My F#heart, it beats 
But inC#side I’m freezing
My D#hands shake
TheBy’ve lost all their feeling
NoF#where to take
You C#say that you’re leaving
And there’s no turning back this Btime
Gotta stay D#alive

Where do I go when I’m so alone?
WhC#ere do I turn when you D#are so close?

We try not to crash but we still collide
Tears I’ve cried, C#I’ll survive 
I’m aliD#ve
I’m stripped, I’m bare
I’m left here with nothing
I hold the wheel
And know where I’m going
Your face, I see, in every reflection
No time, no space
I’ve lost all direction
And there’s no turning back this time
Gotta stay alive
Chorus
C#I’m gonna get there someway
BThrough all the tears that you bring
C#And any road I can take
BJust to get me some place
C#Where all the stars on my heart 
BAnd all the lies in the dark
C#Disappear in my heBad 
Lights so bright, tonight
Gonna drive them D#away
Chorus

intro: Vinko Capar 04.03.2010

I breathe, I hear

But I don’t believe it

My heart, it beats

But inside I’m freezing

My hands shake

They’ve lost all their feeling

Nowhere to take

You say that you’re leaving

And there’s no turning back this time

Gotta stay alive

Chorus:

B F#

(7th freet)

Where do I go when I’m so alone?

C# D#

Where do I turn when you are so close?

B F#

(7th freet)

We try not to crash but we still collide

Tears I’ve cried, I’ll survive

I’m alive

I’m stripped, I’m bare

I’m left here with nothing

I hold the wheel

And know where I’m going

Your face, I see, in every reflection

No time, no space

I’ve lost all direction

And there’s no turning back this time

Gotta stay alive

Chorus

I’m gonna get there someway

Through all the tears that you bring

And any road I can take

Just to get me some place

Where all the stars on my heart

And all the lies in the dark

C# B

Disappear in my head

Lights so bright, tonight

Gonna drive them away

Chorus

I’m Alive
