This is one of my favorite songs by F.M. so I decided to pick up my
guitar and figure it out.

Anytime when playing a "D" chord in this song, alternate it every
few strums (listen to the song to get the exact rythm) by lifting the index finger
off the string and strumming. The new chord will look like this:

(XX0032)


Intro: D

[D]If I ever leave this world alive,
[G]I'll thank ya' for things you did [D]in my life.

If I ever leave this world alive,
[G]I'll come back down and sit beside your[D] feet tonight.
Wherever I [A]am, you'll always be.
More than [Bm]just a memo[G]ry.
If I [D]ever leave this [A]world al[D]ive.

[D]If I ever leave this world alive,
[G]I'll take on all the sadness, that I [D]left behind.

If I ever leave this world alive,
[G]The madness that you feel will [D]soon subside.
So in a wo[A]rd, don't shed a tear.
I'll be [Bm]here when it all gets [G]weird.
If I [D]ever l[A]eave this world ali[D]ve.[A]

Bridge: Guitar 1 (Acoustic) strums chords above.
Guitar 2 (Electric) plays the tab.
[D] [G] [D] [G][D]

Just before you go insane

If I [D]ever leave this [A]world
Hey, I may [Bm]never leave t[G]his world
But if I [D]ever leave this [A]world al[D]ive.[A]..she says
I'm o[D]kay, I'm alright
Though you have [Bm]gone from my [G]life
You said that it [D]would,
Now everything [A]should,
Be al[D]right[A]
She says, I'm [D]okay!

I'm alright!
Though you have [Bm]gone from my [G]life.
You said that it [D]would,
Now everything [A]should,
Be al[D]right.
[A]Yeah, should be al[D]right.

Outro: D
