I Am Alive

Yaakov Shwekey

Chords submitted by Naftali Feld

[Lower key below]
Capo 0-1
C
Eyes pop, minds already racing
Am 
New day, what will I be facing
C                               G
Where is my ride? my coffee's cold 
again
C
Wake up, kids the bus is coming
Am
Piles of homework, tell me where 
you're running
C          
Pressure's rising fast and here we 
G
go again...
                                          
               Dm
But when your day is going backwards 
         G
and it swallows you
Dm                      G
Open up your eyes, the good is 
right in front of you

Chorus:
         C
It’s been 340 days
C
Thanking you ten million ways
     F           G
That I am alive, I am alive
C
Breathing, singing, standing strong
C
Skies are blue, what could be wrong?
     F           G
That I am alive, I am alive

[C   F]
 
C
Moonlight, the stars are all around me
Am

I know each moment is a treasure
Am
Thanking you for every stone and feather

          G
say your simple prayers
Dm                                                      
Thanking you for the little things

We haven't lived the days

The weeks, the months, the years 
        F
ahead, yeah
                             Am
We need to stand here on the green grass
                             G
We need to feel the sunshine now
                               G
We need to see what's right before us
