D E
Never in all of my life
A D
Have I seen eyes as empty as these streets of my city
D
on a Saturday night,
E A Abm D
all the green of your eyes says "Go, leave it all behind."
D E
But I don't need to be reminded a change is gonna come.
D E
I can feel it on the tip of your tongue.
A D A
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
D E
We met up once we'd settled the sun
A Abm
Between the heat and the work week
D
The fear is we could use some sleep
D E
but sleep to a superfluous man means better use for beds
A Abm D
and I'll bet I'm coming home alone tonight.
D E
I don't need to be reminded this is how it was.
D E
I moved on, I passed a billboard down my block
D E
that asks if I've had enough, and aloud I say "I've had too much"
D E
when the truth is, I'm just getting started.
A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
A D
And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive.
D E
One of us sings, and one of us drinks,
A
and one of us has nothing at all.
D
So he calls us all sheep
BºPeep
(I take their tales and I'm ready to go)
D E
Then he swears he's gotta take this call
A Abm D
Man, I'm scared he's gonna leave us too soon.
D
We were the get rich quick kids,
E
We never got it right
D E
So we settled for the center in town
D E
Where all the rich white kids is out looking for a fight
D E
got the blond one staring me down.
D E
and I really wanna take a swing
A Abm D
I can't help but remember James Dean
D E
See we are part of the few who agree
D
that hey, he lived life fast
E
but he died.
he died.
A
Me, I'm gonna live forever.
A D A
(And I feel alive, feel alive, feel alive)
A
Now all the barlights are blinking in time
D A
to Mexican music, it's taunting the pavement
and for the first time,
D
in a long time,
A
I feel alive.
