E G#m C#m A Life can feel like a red light screaming "Go!" E G#m C#m A And every day means an answer I don't know. E G#m This world can make you want to fake it C#m A And nobody wants to face it alone. E G#m C#m A It’s hard to shake that feeling that your heart’s not home. [Chorus] E I'm trying to live, B Trying to hope, C#m Trying to love, A Trying to cope, E B C#m F# Life's a war that few of us survive. A B E And I'm just trying to make it out alive. [Interlude] G#m C#m A [Verse] E G#m C#m A Everyone has a story to be told, E G#m C#m A And every tongue has a lie it could expose. E G#m This world describes all the treatments, C#m A To keep all the secrets you want, E G#m C#m A We've learned how to think without our minds turned on. [Chorus] E I'm trying to live, B Trying to hope, C#m Trying to love, A Trying to cope, E B C#m F# Life's a war that few of us survive. A B C#m And I'm just trying to make it out alive. [Verse] C#m B A E The pain we go through is what makes us who we are. A C#m And if we hold each other through, A B the deepest darkest parts... [Chorus] E Then we can live, B Then we can hope, C#m Then we can love, A Then we can cope, E B C#m A B Life is not a jump it is a head first dive! E I'm trying to live, B Trying to hope, C#m Trying to love, A Trying to cope, E B C#m F# Life's a war that few of us survive. A B E And I'm just trying to make it out alive.
