Garbage - So We Can Stay Alive: chords

Em
Imagine this: we make things right
Am                 E
So beautiful, we cling tonight
Em                     D
To all our dreams, we pin them up
Am                       E
We lose our minds if we lose our hope

We swear to change, but we bottle it
Stick to our guns and all our sins
We bury fear, we drink to it
We might cheat death if we worship it

Chorus:
    C       Am   E
So we can stay alive
     C        Am          E
Our sex, our power, our drive
    C      Am        E
We lose ourselves inside
    C      Am    F
So we can feel alive

You're the one who should be on trial
For all your hate and your denial
Be careful what it is you break
Every broken thing can't be fixed

And all those fragile things we are
They find their voice, they find their power
They take a grip around your throat
They keep squeezing till your life runs out

Chorus

F
(Masochistic victim sadist
C
Victor vanquish valour sadness
D                                      G
Lust and love, our lives, our blindness)

F
(We can feel alive)
         C
All alone we fight the fear
G
By ourselves in every way
F
(We can feel alive)
             C
All our lust, all our greed
G
All our hate, we're on our knees
F
(We can feel)
Hear us beg, hear us pray

Chorus:
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
We can stay alive
