once I was aship out on the sea 
Csus4            C2 
so many miles from home 
C5            C4 
I felt so small, so lost and insecure 
Csus4            C2 
everything was wrong 
 
Am                G 
but I´m alive, I´m alive 
Dm          F  
I´m alive, yes I am 
 
C  
taking my life into my own hands 
G 
living my dreams and taking the chance 
Am                                                          go over G to F (short added G) 
walking my talk and making romance 
F
living my live today

now I see the different shades of me 
Csus4            C2 
the writings of the wall 
C5             C4 
I´m not alone and not so insecure 
Csus4            C2 
I´m the one who´s keeping score 
 
Am            G 
I´m alive, I´m alive 
Dm           F 
I´m alive, yes I am 
 
C  
taking my life into my own hands 
G 
living my dreams and taking the chance 
Am                                                          go over G to F (short added G) 
walking my talk and making romance 
F 
living my live today
