INTRO: G C G D  G C D  

   G                          Cadd9                   G
If time heals all wounds, then I should be a healthy man
                              Cadd9       D
For doing what I've done, and being who I am
   G                                 Cadd9                 G
I cannot be held responsible if you confuse me with my old self
     C                 G                D          D/F#    G
I've taken that jackal by the chain and put him up on the shelf

         G                            Cadd9          G
Oh it's taken me a while to sweep the dust out of my hair
                                    Cadd9              D
It'll take me even longer to figure out which suit to wear
       G                                     Cadd9        G
And my heart may need a booster shot and a vaccine for my life
       C                  G                     D       D/F#    G
But I swear that it won't break again, not even on the darkest night


CHORUS:
     G                       Cadd9      D            G          Cadd9         D          G
I am finally seeing what the blind can only dream, ripping the shadows from sights unseen
               Cadd9                       D      C
Opening the shutters to let the sun shine in
G                      Cadd9     D      G             Cadd9   D
Tell the undertaker to bite his tongue, tell him I am not the one
     G             C       D       G      Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again


SOLO

   G                                Cadd9           G
My eyes have opened to the sun, my demons went back home
                                       Cadd9           D
And as I look around I wonder why it's fools who live alone
  G                                       Cadd9              G
Searching for what they cannot find, and needing it more and more
             C                   G                     D     D/F#  G
And if they find it they wonder what the hell they're gonna use it for

           G                            Cadd9             G
I'm gonna get myself a girl, one I can trust with all my heart
                                                Cadd9        D
And who'll pick up the missing pieces should my world fall apart
          G                                    Cadd9            G
I'm gonna get myself the fastest car and take corners at ninety-five
C                              G               D/           G
Laughing and screaming at the top of my lungs, Yes I am alive!


CHORUS

G                      Cadd9      D      G           Cadd9     D
Tell the undertaker to bite his tongue, tell him I am not the one
     G             C        D     G      Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again
     G             C        D    G       Cadd9-G
The lucky are the ones who live again
          G             C       D     G     Cadd9-G
Yes the lucky are the ones who live again

G C G D
             G  C  D
I'm alive again.......

G C G D
            G   C  D
I'm alive again.......
