Capo 2nd fret
EWhen you were alive, I was never aAlone
B7Somewhere in the world, there was soAmething called hEome
EAnd as long as you lived, I would be all rAight
There were rB7easons to win, and iAncentives to fiEght
ENow I'm sAmoking aB7gain. I thought aAll that was tEhrough
And I dF#mon't wanna live. BAut what else can I dBo
And I fEeel like I've faked all that I ever dAid
And I've gB7rown a gray beard, but I cAry like a kEid
EI was seven when I sang you rAosin the bow
B7There in Aunt Mary's kitchen and IA don't guess I Eknow
EThat’s why I've done this for all of this tAime
But now pB7laying and singing, seems a gAame or a cErime
APeople have cB7alled to find Aout if I'm fiEne
I aF#mssure them I am. BAut I'm not - it's a lBie
EThey say in the end, your good friends pull you Athrough
B7But everyone knows, my bAest friend was yEou.
EHey, I've gotten some help. I guess I was afAraid
You suppose soB7mething will happen when sAomeone is paEid
EBut I am getting better once again I'll be sAtrong
B7After all, listen, I'm sAinging this sEong
When yAou were B7alive I was nAever alEone
F#mSomewhere in the world thAere was something called hoBme
Now I feEel like I'm homeless, but I will be all riAght
B7I'll get through the days. I'll fAace-down the niEght.
