[Verse 1]
A
Some people talk, some people act
A
They criticise, but don't react
A
They wind you up, they put you down
A
Hold your head up, with your feet on the ground


[Chorus]
E
If you want to keep yourself alive
      A
You'd better use all your instinct to survive


[Verse 2]
A
Sometimes we laugh, sometimes we cry
A
We get down low, we get up high
A
We don't expect, no easy ride
A
This water's muddy, this water's deep and it's wide


[Chorus]
E
If you want to keep yourself alive
      A
You'd better use all your instinct to survive


[Bridge]
D                                                  A
Don't it sometimes feel like someone's telling you lies
A
Winding you up with them false alibis
D
No use you believing everything that people say
    E
You got to keep on moving, whatever comes your way


[Guitar Solo]
A       E    A


[Verse 3]
A
Another day, another year
A
Another good time, and one more tear
A
We climb the mountain, we reach the top
A
We keep on running, and we run 'til we drop


[Chorus]
E
If you want to keep yourself alive
      A
You'd better use all your instinct to survive
E
If you want to keep yourself alive
      A
You'd better use all your instinct to survive


[Guitar Solo]
A


[Chorus]
E
If you want to keep yourself alive
      A
You'd better use all your instinct to survive
