C 
Am 
Em 
D 
Blessed To Be Alive
G 
C 
Em 
D 
G 
I woke up one morning
C 
and  the sun was gone
Em 
The air was filled with ash and there
D 
were dead birds on the lawn
G 
C 
No trace of you, baby, or a single friend
Em 
D 
No  sound from the radio or car
engines on the wind
C 
G 
So I walked 3 miles to work
B 
and I sat down at my desk
Em 
C 
G 
Passed the day in silence,
B 
Em 
then I walked back home to rest
D 
That's what I do each morning
C 
Em 
once I'm dressed
D 
It's lonely sometimes,
C 
Em 
but I know I'm blessed
D 
To be alive
G 
D 

Verse 2
G 
I got up one evening and
C 
the moon was blood
Em 
The water started rising,
D 
and  the house began to flood
G 
So I grabbed a book of matches
C 
and my warmest coat
Em 
D 
Paced around the cul- de- sac and saw
my neighbor's boat
C 
Now I float around this town
G 
B 
every day in total dark
Em 
C 
G 
Pass the time by counting
B 
Em 
all the treetops in the park
D 
C 
Em 
Just like Noah and his ark
D 
C 
Em 
Though I may never disembark
D 
I'm alive

Interlude 1

I woke up this morning

Verse 3
C 
and  the stars had fell
Em 
It looked like Independence
D 
Day but felt just like hell
G 
I had no one beside me for
C 
the fireworks
Em 
I pretended you were with me, but
D 
that only made it worse
C 
Now the sky is falling,
G 
B 
and it's such a sight to see
Em 
C 
I hope you're out there
G 
B 
Em 
somewhere thinking of me
D 
Our short time was al
C 
Em 
most heavenly
D 
C 
Em 
It's lonely but I know I'm blessed to be
D 
Alive
