Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Verse 1

I've been down by the fences

I've gambling with lives

I'll be long long gone before they come

I've seen troops in the towers

whatching over you

but you were long long gone before they came

Chorus

so how

how did you get there alive

I said how

how did they get me when I

Verse 2

have been living in your shadow

been trying not to breath to slow

but I was lost in time before the start

been trying not to show you

how much I really care

been living for the moment and fell back and broke in two

and still I try

the way this story ends still makes my lungs collide

the way you look at me still makes my stomach turn

Chorus

so how

how did you get there alive

I said how

how did they get me when I

so how

how did you get there alive

Final chorus:

so how

how did you get there alive

so how

how did you get there alive

so how
