Next To Normal


Tom: Am

G            Cadd9
I am what you want me to be 
          G                    Cadd9
And I'm your worst fear, you'll find it in me
     C     
Come closer
     F
Come closer

G            Cadd9  
I am more than memory 
      G                  Cadd9
I am what might be, I am mystery 
     C       
You know me
     F
So show me


Bridge:
    Am
When I appear 
      A 
It's not so clear if 
C                          G
I'm a simple spirit or I'm flesh and blood


Chorus:
          G                   Cadd9
But I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive
        G                    Cadd9
And I feed on the fear that's behind your eyes 
       G                      Cadd9
And I need you to need me, it's no surprise 

       C    
I'm alive
       F
so alive
        G   Cadd9   G    Cadd9
I'm alive. 

Verse:
G              Cadd9
I am flame and I am fire
     G              Cadd9
I am destruction, decay, and desire
     C
I'll hurt you
     G
I'll heal you
G                   Cadd9
I'm your wish, your dream come true
    G                   Cadd9
And I am your darkest nightmare too
      C
I've shown you
  G
I own you


Bridge:
    Am                  A          
And though you made me, you can't change me
C                                  G
I'm the perfect stranger who knows you too well


Chorus:
        G                     Cadd9
But I'm alive, I'm alive I am so alive
         G                         Cadd9
And I'll tell you the truth if you let me try.
        G                         Cadd9
You're alive, I'm alive, and I'll show you why
     C          F
I'm alive, so alive

Subverse:
       E    A
I'm alive
             E      A
I'm right behind you.
E         A              E       A
You say forget but I'll remind you.
        C                    F                 E      A
You can try to hide but you know that I will find you.
          C           F        Cadd9                      G      Cadd9
'Cause if you won't grieve me, you won't leave me behind.
    G       Cadd9
Oh, how, oh
C      F
Woah

Woah
Cadd9
No, no, no

Chorus:
I'm alive, I'm alive, I am so alive.
If you climb on my back then we both can fly
If you try to deny me, I'll never die
I'm alive, so alive 
         E   A
I'm alive
E        A
Yeah yeah
        G   Cadd9

I'm alive
I'm alive 
I'm alive
