(verse 1)
      E                         C#
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
                    B
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
    A
I don't know if I'm home
          E
Or if I lost the way into your room
      C#
I'm spiraling into my doom
      B                            A
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
                   B
You and I will be free,
     C#
To live and die by our own rules,
 E
Free..
   A
Despite the fact that men are fools.

(chorus)
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

(verse 2)

( E  C# B A )

        E
Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
 C#                                B
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
    A
At least 'til yesterday,
              E
You know you caught me off my highest guard,
  C#
Believe me when I say it's hard.
       B
We'll get through this tonight
            A                         B
And I know one day you and I will be free
    C#
To live and die by our own rules,
  E
Free..
  A
Despite the fact that men are fools.

(chorus)
 E           A                       C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     B
And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

(bridge)
B                               C#
And you touch my hand ever so slightly
Girl we're not ready for this yet
B                                 A
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
   B        C#     B       A
I won't regret. I won't regret...

            E              B
And I was trying to disappear,
                           A
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
          E            B
I was trying to disappear
                         A
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try

And save me.
      E                A
It's okay that we're dying,
                C#       B        A
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

I need to survive tonight, tonight
