[intro]
A  G  F#m Bm  D A
A  G  F#m  Bm  D  A

[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

[instrumental]
A  G  F#m  Bm  D  A
A  G  F#m  Bm  D  A

[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
