F     C    G   Am
F     C    G   (G)

[Verse 1]
F             C   G
Fighting everyday doesn't
          Am
feel like   living,
F          C
so much on my plate,
G          Am
so much on my mind.
F          C
Tryna numb the pain,
G             Am
none of it is working,
      F              C
don't wanna dig this grave
           G         (G)
while I'm alive.

[Pre-Chorus]
          F C             G
There's a hope that comes with
       Am
the morning,
          F   C
there's a chance to
      G     Am
start over again.
        F       C
Just as long as our hearts
     E         Am
keep on beating
        Dm                 C
there's still time left to win.
    G        (G)

[Chorus]
          F              C
So, let's shine like the sun,
G           Am
rise like a phoenix,
F             C
  take to the sky
       G         Am
  'cuz we got no limits.
F         C        E
Don't be afraid to reach
        Am
for the stars
     Dm      C       G  G
'cuz we were made to go
     F      C     G     Am
that far.

So much now has changed,
G               Am
finding new perspective,
F           C        G
not an easy fate but will
             Am
be worth the ride.
       F              C   G
And we will carve the way crossing
            Am
through the valleys,

don't wanna be afraid to be alive.
