To See You Alive

C   F   C   F



C                      F
you can't be by yourself
C                      F
you can't be by yourself
Am
they kept you in the dark
in a room with nothing sharp
               G
until you were well
C                           F
you told me that you were so
C                        F
scared of what they know
Am
but love isn't afraid
love is using your first name
         G
in the poems that I wrote

C                  F
follow me to a home
C                    F
abandoned at the shore
Am
there's a story on the walls
written in marker across the halls
    G
that you'll adore
(song starts building.. aka, play the chords a little stronger)
C                        F
and no one can see us now
C                              F
like the sun behind the clouds
Am
lets grab a drink for lunch
and wash out the taste of blood
        G
from our guilty mouths
C                              F
when you stepped into the light
C                                F
I saw it running down your thighs
Am                                 Am
and thought what a beautiful sight
             C
to see you alive
