[Verse 1]
[Em]I was born[Bm] in a th[C]understorm
[Em]I grew up ov[Bm]erni[C]ght
[Em]I played alone[Bm] I played on m[C]y own
I [Am]survived
[Em]Hey I wanted e[Bm]verything [C]I never had
[Em]Like the love [Bm]that comes[C] with light
[Em]I wore envy [Bm]and I ha[C]ted that
But I [B]survived
I had a [Em]one-way ticket to a [Bm]place
where [C]all the demons go
Where the [Em]wind don't change
And [Bm]nothing in the [C]ground can ever grow
No [Em]hope, just lies
And you're [Bm]taught to cry [C]in your pillow
But I sur[B]vived

[Em]Way in the back [Bm]of my mind[C]
[Em]I saw my l[Bm]ife in a s[C]tranger's face
[B]And it was mine
I had a [Em]one-way ticket to a [Bm]place
where [C]all the demons go
Where the [Em]wind don't change
And [Bm]nothing in the [C]ground can ever grow
No [Em]hope, just lies
And you're [Bm]taught to cry [C]in your pillow
But I sur[B]vived

[Am]I had made every single mistake
[Em]That you could ever pos[D]sibly make

And [Em]all in spite of [D]you[B]
