(Intro)

A – E – A 


(Verse)

       A            E                      B       C#m
So you ruffled some feathers, yeah, you've done it now
           A             E            B      C#m
Turned the tables in the temple clean upside down
       A        E             B           C#m
You're out on a ledge and one thing's for sure
            A           E             B          C#m
When you've got 'em all wishing you'd never been born


(Chorus)

A    E   B      A    E      B  C#m  B    A
Congratulations, you are officially alive
     E     B     A    E      B  C#m  B    A   E   B   C#m
It's confirmation, you are officially alive


A – E – B – E


(Verse)

             A      E          B      C#m
It's not the double kick of an ultrasound
     A        E        B         C#m
Or a piece of paper on file downtown
         A           E          B            C#m
It takes more than a beat and a breath and a name
                 A     E        B     C#m
It's when you're so in love and so in pain


(Chorus)

A    E   B              A       E      B  C#m  B    A
Congratulations – Ooaahao – you are officially alive
     E     B              A       E      B  C#m  B    A   E   B   C#m
It's confirmation – Ooaahao – you are officially alive


A – E – B – E


(Bridge)

E                    F#m                   G#m             A
Yeah, it's a tragedy to go through history and simply just exist
E                     F#m                   G#m                A
You're gonna' realize how quick it flies by and everything you missed
A          E                 B        C#m
And suddenly you're standing there in scrubs

Love has found new flesh and blood

It's a feeling you weren't ready for
            A          E         B         C#m
When you're looking in eyes that look like yours


(Chorus)

A    E   B      A    E      B  C#m  B    A
Congratulations, you are officially alive
     E     B     A    E      B  C#m  B    A   E   B
This is creation, you are officially alive


A – E – B – C#m 


     E     B     A    E      B  C#m  B    A   E   B
Congratulations, you are officially alive


(Outro)

A – E – B – C#m – B – A  
                           ---- to fade
A – E – B
