C
You know lately I've been thinking
About some things
F
Like all the lovely friends I made in rehab
C
That I'll never see again
C
CAUSE SOME OF THEM ARE DEAD
C
And all the people that I've met
F
In bar bathrooms and in checkout lines that I'll never see again
C
But in that moment
C
IT WAS LIKE WE WERE BEST FRIENDS
C
Just having conversations
Am F C
Cause sometimes the people who don't know the things you've done are the only ones who
will bother
C
talking to you
Am F C
Sometimes strangers are the best people to tell your secrets to
C
Cause they don't know you
C
You know lately I've been thinking about things I've lost
F C
Like my mind, my heart, your baby blue eyes
C
And lately I've been wondering about things that haven't happened yet
F C
Like if I'll ever feel that way again
Am F C
But the past already happened so I can't spend today digging through that shit
Am
And the future hasn't happened yet
F C
So there's no sense in worrying about it
C
Just living in this moment
C F
And today I wish that I could put new glasses on your eyes so you could see the world
the way I do through
C
mine
C F
Cause then maybe you wouldn't wanna die you wouldn't have to stick a needle in your arm
C
JUST TO SURVIVE
Am F
Cause I see myself in every single part of you and I made it through
C
So I can't just sit back and watch you throw away your life
Am F
And I don't give a shit if I'm the last person on this earth who believes in you
C
I will show you how beautiful it is to be
C
ALIVE
C Am F
And I will love you til you love yourself I will love you til you love yourself
C
I will love you til you love yourself
C
And I will sing until I love myself
