[Verse 1]
A G F#m Bm
Just sit and wait, don't move
D A
Just hesitate
A G
You can hope and pray
F#m Bm
You can moan
D A Cdim B7 A
Maybe things will change
[Interlude]
G F#m
You feel your soul
D A
Get hollowed out
G F#m
While the world implodes
D A
You just live without
[Verse 2]
A G
She walks, she runs
F#m Bm
She fights
D A A G
Almost as one, and finds her voice
F#m Bm
She'll march
D A Cdim B7 A
She has no choice
[Interlude]
G F#m
She’s crushed by thoughts
D A
At night of men
G F#m
Who want her rights
D A
And usually win
[Chorus]
G F#m
But she's alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Oh, she's alive
G F#m
She’s alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Oh, she's alive

[Verse 3]
A G
He screams, he shouts
F#m Bm D A
The hands on the TV bow
A G
They take the bait
F#m Bm D A Cdim B7 A
They mirror the waves of hate
[Interlude]
G F#m
They break down walls
D A
To free their sins
G F#m
And then their hearts
D A
Come caving in
[Verse 4]
A G
Oh, I watch, I think
F#m Bm
I dance
D A
And sometimes I drink
A G
I sing my songs
F#m Bm D A Cdim B7 A
I'll hope someone sings along
[Interlude]
G F#m
If I should break
D A
My silent streak
G F#m
Will knives come out
D A
To cut my cheek?
[Chorus]
G F#m
Oh I'm alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Yes I'm alive
G F#m
But I'm alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Oh I'm alive
G F#m
I'm alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Oh I'm alive
G F#m
Yes I’m alive
F A Cdim B7 A
Yes I’m alive
[Outro]
A G F#m Bm
I care, a lot, I know
D A
The things I'm not
A G
It’s alright, it's okay
F#m Bm
And it's not
D A
Maybe things will change
