C          F7
a serious car wreck
C           F7
a bad fall from a cliff
           C          F7                        G
and the raging blue river once took me from a raft in breckenridge
            C          F7
i've been held up in new orleans
        C          F7
and strung out in stockholm
            C          F7                       G
and i've slept on those cold cold streets of newyork city alone
    F7     G         C         C/B     Am
i can't explain how i'm still here today
            F7            G
I'm just thankful that i am

[CHORUS]

     C          F7                  C
yeah I, have survived more than i should
Am            C/B       C  F7                 G
pushed it as far as i could, reachin for the skies
       C            F7               C
and I walked on the edge more than most
         Am C/B             C  F7         G
heaven knows i have cut it close But I'm alive
        F7     G       C
after all that i have done
      F7  G                    C     F7  C  F7  C  F7
It's you... that makes me the lucky one

[VERSE 2]
           C          F7
Yeah my heart has been broken
    C          F7
by love and by death
            C          F7                   G
I've been down on my bare knees prayin to jesus with a devils breath
         C          F7     C                     F7
And I lost all my money, you know, faith, and beliefs
C                     F7                 G
but somehow the world around me showed nothing but sympathy
    F7     G         C         B     Am
and everyday that i wake up to see the sun
F7                                 G
I thank God you still think that i'm the one
