G D C A

A  
Look at us here today 
                     G          D
Lots of talking with nothing to say
         A  
And if I seem somewhat vague 
                 G          D
It's because I'm somewhat afraid 

       G  D    C            A 
I'm surviving, that's all I am 
       G  D           C       A
I'm surviving to be a better man 
       G  D    C            A
I'm surviving, that's my plan 
     G  D     C            A
Just surviving 

Yesterday, I was sure 
But today I don't know anymore 
Thought I was brave till I saw 
My frightened reflection in a dark corridor 

Now I'm surviving to be a better man 
I'm surviving with an emotional plan 
I'm surviving, so please understand 
I'm surviving, surviving 

B                     A
There are millions of people out there 
F#m                   E
Trying to get by in a world that don't care 
E                      D
People smiling through clouds of despair 
   Bm                   A 
Protecting the wounds until they repair 

They're surviving the best way they can 
They are surviving every woman and man 
Just surviving with an emotion plan 
So keep surviving 

Maybe it's my shattered pride 
That's why I get scared of emotional ties 
Don't let them in, otherwise 
You'll smile like a fool 
But you'll be hurting inside 

So I'm surviving through the insecurity 
I am surviving, I got hope inside of me 
So I'm smiling through all the insanity 
I'm surviving, surviving 

I was moved by the way that you said 
Don't be afraid, I won't leave you for dead 
You took my soul and mixed up my head 
You left me alive you should have killed me instead 

Now I'm surviving, that's all I am 
I'm surviving to be a better man 
I'm surviving, that's my plan 
I'm surviving, surviving 
Surviving
