about

This is my attempt at a lyric like George Harrison's "All Things Must Pass" (my cover of that song is on my single "Beware"). Even in the darkest hours, storms come, but they always pass. This song began as a piano ballad, but I completely changed the chords and rewrote the music to what it sounds like in this recording.

lyrics

ALIVE

Verse: power chords - D C# (still holding the E on the A string) G A (4x)
1st Chorus: D7 C (2x) Am(-B) E7
2nd + 3rd Chorus: D7 C (4x) Am(-B)
Bridge: Am Am(-B) (4x) Am Am(+D) Am(+F) Am(+G) A

(verse)
D C# G A (4x)
When the morning falls into the sky

when the lightning sinks into your eyes

when the blood flows stirring life inside

when the air breathes I'm finding I'm alive


(chorus)
D7 C
Then the morning falls into the sky

D7 C
when the rain falls it reminds you you're

Am(-B) E7
alive, and I'm alive


(verse)
D C# G A (4x)
Knowing that night will run her hands on me,

my bones are shaking the soul inside of me,

clouds on horizon whisper in my ear, when

your heartbeat is all I want to hear


(chorus)
D7 C
Then the morning falls into the sky

D7 C
when the rain falls it reminds you you're alive

D7 C
Then the morning falls into the sky

D7 C
when the rain falls it reminds you you're


Am(-B) E7
alive, and I'm alive


(bridge) Am Am(-B) (4x) Am Am(+D) Am(+F)

Am(+G) A


(verse)
D C# G A
I need your love to remind me I'm alive


(chorus)
D7 C
Then Sunday morning falls into the sky
D7 C
when the rain falls reminds you you're alive

D7 C
then the day comes watching hours slide when

D7 C
the rain falls reminds you you're alive

D7 C
one more day comes watching hours slide

D7 C Am(-B)
then it’s over with a blinking eye



(bridge) Am Am(-B) (4x) Am Am(+D) Am(+F)

Am(+G) A



(verse)
D C# G A
I need your love to remind me I'm alive
