Half Alive


Tom: C

G                  Am F
I lay on the carpet
F                     C
A wrench to let you in
     G             Am F
Carbonating emotion
F
Tears rising to the rim
  Am          G
I fled to the walls, yeah
               Dm
Be sure I'm surrounded
                  C       G
(Where no one can find me)
G
But there's strength behind a lowered gate
 C                 Dm                C
(A humble embrace, a venerable place)

[Verse]
C
Say you're open through tears and trembling
        F                Am
It's a major step, it's okay to fret
                       F
Here's a safe place to lay your heart down
F
It's a second chance, it won't be your last

[Chorus]
G                    Am F
Letting my guard down
F                      Am G
Enough to be held close
G                           Am F
There's strength in the open
F
The broken and exposed
         Am          G
Should I flee to the mountains?
   Am          Dm
Be sure I'm surrounded
                  C       G
(Where no one can find me)
G
The strength within an open space
 Am              Dm                C
(A humble place, a venerable place)
