Alive In the Lights Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[B]From the begin[B5]ning I[B]
[C]knew [Em]I was [D]differ[G]ent.
[B]I embraced i[Em]t, but you didn'[D#]t.
[B]Your normal life, nine [B5]to fi[G]ve,
[Em]It's just not for me.
[D]I need to feel [Em]alive!

[Verse 2]
[B]I won't fall lik[C]e the[Em] rest of [D]them,[Em]
[B]They've come and gone [Em]with the [D#]wind.
[B]I hear the d[Em]oubt i[B]n the
back of your mind
But [Em]still I'll [C]see this
through to the en[Am]d.
[B]Maybe if

[Verse 3]
you paid more attention,
Asked more questions
and actually listened
You would see this is not just a dream,
But a path I've chosen that
means everything to me.
[Em]Don't you see the minds

[Verse 4]
[Em]
that have changed?
[D]Don't you see the lives that
have been [Em]saved?[C]
Don't you care to see the
[B]difference I've made?

[Verse 5]
[C]Listen clo[Em]sely,
the [G]highways [D]call my [C]name.
Don't you [Em]see this is my
[B]everything?[Em][G][C]
It may not seem [Em]right to you
[G]And you [D]might not approve but it's [C]real.
[Em]This is the only [B]thing that makes
me [G]feel.[D][Em]

[Verse 6]
What [Em]more do I [C]have [Am]to d[B]o
To finally prove myself to [Em]you?
What is it that you need to see
To [B]fi nally believe this is who I'm supposed [Em]to be[C]?
[Am][B][C][B][Em][B][C][B][C][B][Em][C]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
Most [B]days I feel like your [C]punch[Em]ing bag,[D]
[G]But I w[B]ould never let[Em] it hold me back.
I [D#]just [B]wish for [C]once [B]you knew
[Em]How it felt to be brought down lower
than [C]everything [Em]else.
Don't you care [G]to see

[Verse 8]
the [D]dif
ference [A]I've [C]made?
Listen [Em]closely,
the [G]highways [D]call my [C]name.
Don't you [Em]see this is my e[B]verything?[Em]
[C]It may not seem rig[Em]ht to you
[G]And you might [D]not approve but it's [C]real.
[Em]This is the only thing
[B]that makes me [G]feel.
[Em]This is who I

[Verse 9]
[B]am! [Em]This is my[C] life.
[Em]I come[B] alive[Em] in the lights![C]
[B]I c[Em]ome a[C]li[B]ve in the[Em]
[C]lig[B]hts[Em].[C][B]
[Em]What will be written on yo[C]ur

[Verse 10]
[B]tombstone?
[Em]You sat be[C]hind a desk.
[B]You had no backbone.
[Em]What will be written [C]on your [B]tombstone?
[Em]You sold your [C]soul, [Em]grew [B]old alone[Em].
[B]Would you prefer that I become a lifeless,
Hollow shell such as yourself?
Would you prefer that I give up my dreams
And lose all hope just like everyone else?
[Em]Don't you see

[Verse 11]
the [G]lives[D]
[Em]that have been saved?
[C]Listen clo[Em]sely,
the [G]highways [D]call my [C]name.
Don't you [Em]see this is my e[B]verything?[Em]
[C]It may not seem rig[Em]ht to you
[G]And you might [D]not approve but it's [C]real.
[Em]This is the only thing [B]that makes me [Em]feel.
