Stay Alive

Note: There is a beautiful (but optional) walk up at the lyric: I will stay with you tonight (it's at 1:11 into the song).

If you remember your chord numbers, here's how you play the walk up:

Intro: [F] [C] [Dm] [Dm] [C] [Bb]

[F] There's a rhythm in [C] rush these [Dm] days
Where the [Dm] lights don't move and the [C] colours don't [Bb] fade
[F] Leaves you empty with [C] nothing but [Dm] dreams
In a [Dm] world gone shallow in a [C] world gone [Bb] lean

[F] Sometimes there's things a [C] man cannot [Dm] know
[Dm] Gears won't turn and the [C] leaves won't [Bb] grow
There's [F] no place to run and [C] no gasol[Dm]ine
[Dm] Engine won't turn and the [C] train won't [Bb] leave
[Dm] Engines won't turn and the [C] train won't [Bbmaj7] leave

[F] I will [Am7no5] stay with [F] you to [Bb] night
[C] Hold you close 'til the [Dm] morning [Bbmaj7] light
In the [F] morning [Am7] watch the [F] new day [Bb] rise
We'll [C] do whatever just to [Dm] stay a[Bbmaj7]live
We'll [C] do whatever just to [Dm] stay a[Bbmaj7]live

Well the [F] way I feel is the [C] way I [Dm] write
It [Dm] isn't like the thoughts of the [C] man who [Bb] lies

[F] There is a truth and it's [C] on our [Dm] side
[Dm] Dawn is coming [C] open your [Bb] eyes
[Dm] Look into the sun as the [C] new days [Bbmaj7] rise

And [F] I will [Am7no5] wait for [F] you to [Bb] night
You're [C] here forever and you're [Dm] by my [Bbmaj7] side

To [C] feel your heart as it's [Dm] keeping [Bbmaj7] time

[F] There's a rhythm in [C] rush these [Dm] days
Where the [Dm] lights don't move and the [C] colours don't [Bb] fade
[F] Leaves you empty with [C] nothing but [Dm] dreams
In a [Dm] world gone shallow in a [C] world gone [Bb] lean

[F] There is a truth and it's [C] on our [Dm] side
[Dm] Dawn is coming [C] open your [Bb] eyes

[Dm] Look into the sun as the [C] new days [Bbmaj7] rise
