Verse 1:
      E                                        C#
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
                           B
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
      A
I don't know if I'm home

Or if I lost the way into your room
         C#
I'm spiraling into my doom
        B                                        A
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day

You and I will be free,

To live and die by our own rules,
  E
Free..
      A
Despite the fact that men are fools.

Chorus:
 E                 A                                 C#
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
        B
And save me.
        E                       A
It's okay that we're dying,

Well excuse me while I get killed softly,

Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
       A
At least 'til yesterday,
                        E
You know you caught me off my highest guard,
  C#
Believe me when I say it's hard.

We'll get through this tonight

Bridge:
B                                                 C#
And you touch my hand ever so slightly
Girl we're not ready for this yet
B                                                     A
And the deadly look she cast upon me
I won't regret, I won't regret
      B          C#     B          A
I won't regret. I won't regret...

                  E                      B
And I was trying to disappear,
                                              A
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
              E                   B
I was trying to disappear
                                    A
But I got lost in your eyes now,
You brought me down to size now.

Chorus: 1 strum

I'm almost alive, and I need you to try

And save me.
