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
