Half Alive Tab

by Secondhand Serenade


so far no tab has been right, yes the chords are D, Bm, A & G, but what no one has 
realised is that the guitar is tuned down 2 steps, so the D chord now becomes an E 
chord, the Bm is C#, A is a B & the G is an A.
played like this...

                   
e down to D   0  0  0  0
B down to A   0  0  0  0
G down to F   9  6  4  2
D down to C   9  6  4  2
A down to G   7  4  2  0
E down to D   0  x  x  x

i know it sucks to untune your guitar but if u wanna play it right then thats how its done.
& im only doing the chords, not the picking. im 100% sure that they are the right chords,
im not 100% sure if ive put them all in the right places.. so play along with the song 
then you'll
know if im right.
thankyou

Verse 1:
                               
It's four AM, I'm waking up to your perfume
                    
Don't get up, I'll get through on my own
    
I don't know if I'm home
          
Or if I lost the way into your room
      
I'm spiraling into my doom
                                  
I'm feeling half alive but I know one day
                   
You and I will be free,
     
To live and die by our own rules,
 
Free..
   
Despite the fact that men are fools.

Chorus:
                                   
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     
And save me.
                      
It's okay that we're dying,
                               
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.


Verse 2:

---

        
Well excuse me while I get killed softly,
                                 
Heart slows down and I can hardly tell you I'm okay
    
At least 'til yesterday,
              
You know you caught me off my highest guard,
  
Believe me when I say it's hard.
       
We'll get through this tonight
                                     
And I know one day you and I will be free
    
To live and die by our own rules,
  
Free..
  
Despite the fact that men are fools.

Chorus:
                                   
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     
And save me.
                      
It's okay that we're dying,
                               
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

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

                          
And I was trying to disappear,
                           
But you got me wrapped around you
I can hardly breathe without you
                      
I was trying to disappear
                         
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.
                      
It's okay that we're dying,
                               
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.

Chorus: strumming
                                   
I'm almost alive, and I need you to try
     
And save me.
                      
It's okay that we're dying,
                               
But I need to survive tonight, tonight.
                           
I need to survive tonight, tonight
