C G2
It’s four AM I’m waking up to your perfume
G
Don’t get up I’ll get through on my own
F
I don’t know if I’m home
C
Or if I lost my way into your room
G2
I’m spiraling into my doom
G F
I’m feeling half alive but I know one day
C
You and I will be free
G2
To live and die by our own rules
G
Free
F
Despite the fact that men are fools
Chorus:
C C2
I’m almost alive
A
And I need you to try
F
And save me
C C2
It’s okay that we’re dying
A G F – C – G2 – G - F
But I need to survive tonight, tonight
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/secondhand_serenade/half_alive_tab.html ]
C
Well excuse me while I get killed softly
G2
Heart slows down and I can hardly
G
Tell you I’m okay
F
At least ‘til yesterday
C
You know you caught me off my highest guard
G2
Believe me when I say it’s hard
G
We’ll get through this tonight
F C
And I know one day you and I will be free
G2
To live and die by our own rules
G
Free
F
Despite the fact that men are fools
(Chorus)
G A F
And you touch my hand ever so slightly
Girl we’re not ready for this yet
G A F
And the deadly look she cast upon me
No I won’t regret
G A F
I won’t regret
G A F
I won’t regret
C G
And I was trying to disappear
F
But you got me wrapped around you
G F
I can hardly breathe without you
G C G
I was trying to disappear
F
But I got lost in your eyes now
G F
You brought me down to size now
(Chorus x2)
End:
A G F – G - C
I need to survive tonight, tonight
