Am
It feels so good to be alive
D                       Am
Got all my family by my side
                                  G
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried
                               Am    B
That's why I lift my head with pride


[Verse 1]
        Am
I got a million miles on me
                           Am
They want to see how far I go
                              G
The path was never paved with gold (Gold)
                                Am
We worked and built this on our own (Own)


[Pre-Chorus]
                 Am
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
                      D
This is hustle personified
Am
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
                             G
So when we win, we will have pride
                             Am
Do you know how much we have cried?
                   Am
How hard we had to fight?


[Chorus]
                       Am
It feels so good to be alive (It feels so, so, so, so good)
D                        Am7
Got all my sisters by my side (I got all my sisters by my side)
                                  G
Couldn't wipe this black off if I tried (Black off if I tried)
                               Am
That's why I lift my hеad with pride
                                      D
Now we're sitting on top of thе world again, huh


[Verse 2]
        Am
I got a million miles on me
                     D        Am
They want to see how far I'll go (They want to see how far I'll go)
                              G
The path was never paved with gold (No)
                                Am
We fought and built this on our own (We fought and built this on our own, own)


[Pre-Chorus]
                 Am
And can't nobody knock it if they tried
                      D
This is hustle personified
Am
Look how we've been fighting to stay alive
                             G
So when we win, we will have pride
                             Am7
Do you know how much we have cried?
                   Am
How hard we had to fight?


[Chorus]
                       Am
It feels so good to be alive (It feels so good, so good)
D                       Am
Got all my family by my side (And we gon' sit on top of the world again)
                                  G
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried (And I wouldn't trade nothin', and I wouldn't trade nothin')
                               Am7
That's why I lift my head with pride (So baby, lift your head, yeah)
                       Am
It feels so good to be alive (Darling, it's a celebration for you, yeah)
D                         Am7
I got the tribe all by my side (You're doin' everything they said you couldn't do)
                                  G
Couldn’t wipe this black off if I tried
                               Am
That's why I lift my head with pride (Lift your head, yeah)


[Outro]
    Am

        G
