Make It Out Alive

Intro 
D 


[Verso 1]
 
           D          G             Bm           A 
There's a man in California, he is working on a cure 
 D            G               Bm           A 
He can see a future where we don't die anymore 
  Bm             A                 Em          D/F#   G 
Chasing down perfection, oh, that bright and shining pearl 
D                G             A                   D G Bm A 
All you have to do is give up living in the world 
 


[Verso 2]
 
 D              G                    Bm              A 
Looking like a vampire, 'cause he's hiding from the sun 
            D        G             Bm       A 
Though he's 48, the data says his heart is 21 
Bm             A            Em      D/F#       G 
He may live forever, but I wonder what that's worth 
           D                 G                  A                    
If you're still around then, ask him - I'll be hidden in the earth 

D G Bm A (2x) 
 


[Verso 3]
 
D             G                Bm             A 
I got my own bag of tricks to circumvent the pain 
   D               G          Bm                A 
I covered up the sky as my defense against the rain 
Bm          A              Em     D/F#    G 
All I ever wanted was to know that I was safe 
 D                 G                A           G 
But I've learned about a few things I cannot escape 
 


[Verso 4]
 
       D               G             Bm                  A 
I was sitting with a friend of mine, we were clothed in grief 
 D               G            Bm            A 
We had lost somebody that we hadn't got to meet 
     Bm                A                  Em    D/F#   G 
She turned to me and whispered, you know, it'll be alright 
     D                G               A               N.C.  
The funny thing with living's no one makes it out alive 

 D G Bm A (4x) 
 


[Verso 5]
 
      D                  G            Bm            A 
You know, I've heard a story that somebody found a cure 
D            G              Bm            A 
I can see a future where we don't die anymore 
 Bm              A              Em    D/F#   G 
Fallen seeds to bury with new branches to unfurl 
    D                   G                 A             D 
So in the meantime, I think I'll keep on living in the world 
          Bm               A               Em        D/F#      G N.C. 
There's a kind of hope in singing all the songs that make us cry 
    D        G               A               N.C. 
And it'll be OK if we don't make it out alive 

D G Bm A (2x)
