Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

 I've been down by the fences

 I've gambling with lives

 I'll be long long gone before they come

 I've seen troops in the towers

whatching over you

 but you were long long gone before they came

Chorus

 so how

 how did you get there alive

 I said how

 how did they get me when I

Verse 2

 have been living in your shadow

 been trying not to breath to slow

 but I was lost in time before the start

 been trying not to show you

 how much I really care

 been living for the moment and fell back and broke in two

 and still I try

 the way this story ends still makes my lungs collide

 the way you look at me still makes my stomach turn

Chorus

 so how

 how did you get there alive

 I said how

 how did they get me when I

so how

how did you get there alive

Final chorus:

 so how

 how did you get there alive

 so how

 how did you get there alive

 so how
