Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
[Verse 1]
Em D G Cadd9
I remember being twelve years old, growing up as good as gold
Em D G Cadd9
And I stopped seeing you around, you were getting high and falling down
Em D G Cadd9
I remember being young on the flats we dreamed to leave and never come back
Em D G Cadd9
I looked at you like you’d never die, cause you were tougher than the pines.
[Chorus]
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
[Verse 2]
Em D G Cadd9
We were barefoot in those hills, we played war and not got killed
Em D G Cadd9
Then we'd laugh out in the grass, to damn young to ruin our past
Em D G Cadd9
And I left town for a long while, came back down and walked a gravel mile
Em D G Cadd9
Just to see how you were doing, Trees were burned and the flats were ruined
[Chorus]
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
[Bridge]
Em D
You were crying in the driveway, telling me you’d gone the wrong way
G Cadd9
That this life had cut you down, and you were glad I was back in town (X2)
[Chorus]
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
Em
I'm gonna get out alive
D
gonna get out alive
G Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
Em D G Cadd9
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going through
