Im Alive(Keyboard chords)

	        Intro: 
E       A       E       A 
E       A       E       B 
 
            E                                 A 
It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone 
       E                          A 
I look around my life tonight and you are gone 
             E                                 A 
i might have done something to keep you if I'd known 
E                     B 
  How unhappy you'd become 
 
           E 
Well I was dreaming of you 
        A 
With my heart in your hands 
          E 
And I was following through 
        C#m      B 
With my beautiful plans 
E       C#m  B 
 
E             A                       E 
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this canyon drive 
          C#m            B 
With your laughter in my head 
E                       A                E 
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 
                      B      (tacet) 
'cuz those dreams are dead 
             E          A         E         A 
But I'm alive 
 
          E                               A 
I want to go where I will never hear your name 
          E                     A 
I want to lose my sorrow and be free again 
      E                A 
And I know I've been insane 
E                            B 
When I think of the places I could've been 
 
          E 
But I was dreaming of you 
        A 
With my heart in your hands 
          E 
And I was following through 
        C#m      B 
With my beautiful plans 
E       C#m   B 
 
(solo) 
E       E 
                     A 
Standing here by the highway side 
               E 
Watching these trucks blow by 
               C#m 
Inches from my face 
      B                                 E 
Yeah, thinking about the time I've wasted 
(Dreaming of you) 
                              A 
And the pleasure we once tasted 
(Dreaming of you) 
                               E 
Looking up and down this road 
(Following through) 
          C#m      B 
I've been here before 
(Following through) 
         C#m   B 
Can't be here no more 
(Dreaming of you) 
C#m               B 
(Dreaming of you) 
 
E             A                            E 
Yeah, now I'm rolling down this California five 
          C#m            B 
With your laughter in my head 
E                       A                E 
Gonna have to block it out somehow to survive 
                        B      (tacet) 
'cuz those dreams are dead 
             E          A         E         A 
But I'm alive 
 
E                                       A 
Look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years 
E                                           A 
Now you could fill a swimming pool with all my salty tears 
    E                                 A 
You told me what was in your heart but  baby you lied 
      E                             A 
And I thought that it would kill me,   but I'm alive!
