I Survived

[G]This is goodb[Bm]ye
After [C]months of situating
I can f[Am]inally leave this [C]sorry town behin[G]d
And I'm al[Bm]right
When they [C]ask for me
My friends can smile and t[Am]ell the world
That [C]I survive[G]d
As I'm about to [Bm]leave
I fill a [C]million empty pages
Pass my [Am]word and do my [C]best to sin[G]g
So what do [Bm]I need
To s[C]how what could become of those
Who t[Am]hink and talk and [C]live like me[G]

I [C]don't want to die today  [Am]
I want to live and love and [G]write it down  [C]
I can live a life of dreams [Am]
And be grateful I'm aroun[G]d

This is goodbye
After months of careful planning
I can finally leave this dried up town behind
And I'm alright
Yeah, this used to be our city
This used to be our only light

I just want to walk away
I want to write but there's a consequence
That all my friends read everything I do and I say
I don't need to reign supreme
All I need are sounds of ecstasy

And I won't die today
Yeah, I'll be living, loving, writing down
And I'll live a life of dreams
And be grateful I'm around
