Version: 1 Type: Chords

Only Alive Chords

   
This is from their "who we are instead" album.
Good, rootsy song that's easy to play.
I mostly just play chords throughout with a few strings picked here and there.  For 
the intro is just C and G strummed, with some simple sliding and walking on the A and E 
similar style with the solo.
Just listen to the song on the album and play around with it.

Verse 1:
       C                          G
I'm a fair weather friend, I'm a colorless view
        C                  G
But I'm willin' to make a deal
       C                        G
If you think you can make some faith here inside
     C                   G
I'll drive off and marry you

Chorus:
    G Em G  Am D    G
I'm only alive with you
G  Em   G   C        Am         D
I can't get by and I won't get through
   G              C         D           Em
So put me in the river and let me say I do
    G Em G  C  D    G
I'm only alive with you

Intro

Verse 2:
You're a sight for sore eyes and a newborn cry
In a year where there are so few
If you throw me a line I'll show you in time
I'm fallin' in love with you

Though my heart has been torn by loves I have worn
And I'm tempted by them ever still
I tremble inside when you walk in the room
You hold my affections and will
