[Verse 1]
B5 B
I could barely see the traffic lights
Bleed red to yellow in the starry night
C#m
The river mirrored back the London eye
F#
Pure nostalgia
B
Feeling like a dream in a rented dress
I'm a supernova flying out my mama's nest
C#m
Little nervous I was pulling out the silver threads for the
F#
power
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I was screaming all the words
F#
Shouting lyrics out the sunroof of my car
Singing
[Chorus]
B
Hey there Delilah
E
I don't need someone to love
C#m F#
I'm a million miles from anyone but that's where I belong
D# G#m
With the city speeding past me I have never felt so free
E
beneath the sky
Em
They say we're born to die
B
But I was born to be alive
[Interlude]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
E
I was born to be alive
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
B
Never been a sucker for a valentine
I'm a holy motherfucker with my head held high
C#m
And the wind is drying over all the tears I've cried
F#
Like a life line
B
Used to worry crazy what the future held
But life ain't gonna take me 'til I trust myself
C#m
So with two hands on the wheel
F#
Think of nothing else but my power
[Pre-Chorus]
C#m
I was screaming all the words
F#
Shouting lyrics out the sunroof of my car
Singing
[Chorus]
B
Hey there Delilah
E
I don't need someone to love
C#m F#
I'm a million miles from anyone but that's where I belong
D# G#m
With the city speeding past me I have never felt so free
E
beneath the sky
Em
They say we're born to die
B
But I was born to be alive
[Outro]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
E
I was born to be alive
Ooh, ooh, ooh
G#m
I was born to be alive
F#add11
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
E
I was born to be alive
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Em
I was born to be alive
