Staying Alive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]You bones fit together
like [G]puzzle pieces, [Am]oh skeleton
You [B]hold together inside skin,
[C]you're a little gear in a b[G]ig machine
And [Am]you spin,
it's [B]my state that [C]you're in
You hold my lungs and [G]my heart
in a chest locked [Am]away
You [B]keep them [C]in a cage,
[G]but I know you'll [Am]go b[C]rittle
You'll [G]shrink down and grow [C]little
These [G]old bones will start [C]to ache
But [G]it's me that you will [C]break
You're my flesh and you [G]hold on
Boy, you've [Am]got a good grip
[B]Someday that's gonna slip
[C]You're a little gear
In [G]a big machine
And [Am]you spin
It's [B]my state that you're in
[C]You carry my blood
In [G]little rivers [Am]to and from
[B]You soak up [C]the sun
But [G]I know
You [C]will fold
You [G]will wrinkle
When you're [C]old
You'll [G]let go of those [C]bones
You're [G]the shelter that I've [C]known
[B]When it comes time for you [C]to die
I'll [Am]have a hard time staying [G]alive
Ah, staying [C]alive
But [G]I know it will grow [C]dark
My [G]mind won't be so [C]sharp
I'll [G]grow tired of this [C]routine
And [G]this body I'm inhabit[C]ing
