Standard (EADGBE)

Why am I walking barefoot

Upon this road with no one around

 I close my eyes to this decision

(use verse chords)

The night's like coffee to my tongue

Like waking up without a sound

I map the words out

Maybe you will say them

Pre-chorus 1

Won't you help me rise up

Touch my face and watch me try to breathe again

 Would you let me do this

 Burn down the final wall

Chorus 1

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, yeah

 All I'm asking is to be alive For once

-- 2x

(use verse chords)

Always I am mistaken

I look for love, I find a stone

Of all the seasons, winter befriends me

(use verse chords)

I come to you in friendship

And hold my breath against the snow

What are you thinking as I gaze into you

Pre-chorus 2

(use pre-chorus chords)

Forgive me the confusion

Forgive me as I realize my thoughts betrayed

You are the answer

Cry and smile the same

Chorus 2

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, baby

 Overcome me, yeah

 All I'm asking is to be

 All I'm asking is to be Alive

Ad-lib:

Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby

Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby

Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby

(overcome me)

Overcome me (overcome me baby), baby

(overcome me)

Overcome

Overcome

Overcome

Overcome

All I'm asking is to be

Alive
