[Intro]
Ooh

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
Emaj7
I just been goin through motions,
back and forth like a ocean
E7
I am a fraud, I am the shit,
hoping that nobody notice
Amaj9
Bang chest in the morning,
head down in the night
G#7/A
Drink less if I wanted,
                         Emaj7
strike up with the light
                           E7
And square up, I'm the mightest
Myself in the fight,
                       Amaj9
hurt twice but i tried it
No advice for this shit,
might die for this shit
G#7/A
Do I feel alive,
feel alive, feel alive?

[Chorus]
Emaj7
Feel more like limbo,
hands out my window
E7
Chasin’ that sunset,
                     Amaj9
that's more my tempo
                           G#7/A
Yeah, that's more my tempo
Emaj7                       E7
Ooh, but this is all that I am
                    Amaj9
I only show you the best of me
    G#7/A
The best of me

[Verse 2]
Emaj7
Looked in my demons and saw myself
E7
Put all my meanin’ in someone else
Amaj9
Outta sight, outta mind,
                         G#7/A
don't know where to find it
Don't know where to hide,
but I still
Emaj7
Eat good, drink good,
feel good, s'all good
E7
Can't hear my head when
I'm sat beside ya
Amaj9
Fcked lungs and a liver,
good looks in the mirror
G#7/A
Do I feel alive,
feel alive, feel alive?
