Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive

gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you

[Verse 1]
                 Em           D            G          
I remember being twelve years old, growing up as good 
   Cadd9
as gold
      Em                 D                        G    
And I stopped seeing you around, you were getting high 
            Cadd9
and falling down
           Em                 D                G       
I remember being young on the flats we dreamed to leave
              Cadd9
 and never come back
            Em                    D                  
I looked at you like you’d never die, cause you were 
G               Cadd9
tougher than the pines.

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going 
Cadd9
through

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
          D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going

[Verse 2]
        Em                D                G           
We were barefoot in those hills, we played war and not 
  Cadd9
got killed
         Em               D              G             
Then we'd laugh out in the grass, to damn young to ruin
   Cadd9
 our past
      Em                   D                G        
And I left town for a long while, came back down and 
                Cadd9
walked a gravel mile
        Em               D                 G          
Just to see how you were doing, Trees were burned and 
               Cadd9
the flats were ruined

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going 
 Cadd9

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going

[Bridge]
                       Em                              
You were crying in the driveway, telling me you’d gone 
     D
the wrong way
          G                                     Cadd9
That this life had cut you down, and you were glad I 
was back in town (X2)

[Chorus]
          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going 
 Cadd9

          Em
I'm gonna get out alive
      D
gonna get out alive
      G                 Cadd9
gonna get out alive with you
        Em          D                G                 
Just as long as you get out alive of what you’re going
