E . . .
[E] I've never seen you look like [A]this without a reason,
[E] Another promise fallen [A]through, another [F#m]season [A]passes [B]by you.

[A] Stay [F#m]alive

Like a [E]lover's [C#m]voice, fires the [E][B]mountainside
[A] Stay [F#m]alive
E – A – C#m – F#m
[E] So take that look out of [A]here, it doesn't fit you.
[C#m] Because it's happened doesn't [F#m]mean you've been discarded
[E] Pull up your head off the [A]floor, come up screaming
[C#m] Cry out for everything you [F#m]ever might have wanted
[E] I thought that pain and truth were [A]things that really mattered
But you [C#m]can't stay here with [F#m]every single hope you had [E]shattered
E . . .
[E] I'm not expecting to grow [A]flowers in the desert,
[E] But I can live and breathe and [A]see the [F#m]sun in [A][B]wintertime
Hook
[C#m] And in a [E]big country, [A]dreams [B]stay with you,[C#m]
Like a [E]lover's [C#m]voice, fires the [E][B]mountainside
[A] Stay [F#m]alive
[C#m] And in a [E]big country, [A]dreams [B]stay with you,[C#m]
Like a [E]lover's [C#m]voice, fires the [E][B]mountainside
[A] Stay [F#m]alive
[C#m] And in a [E]big country, [A]dreams [B]stay with you,[C#m]
Like a [E]lover's [C#m]voice, fires the [E][B]mountainside
[A] Stay [F#m]alive
