Verse 1: Olly Alexander:
BB            F# minorF#m
You stumble through your days
     A augmentedA          F# minorF#m       BB
Got your head hung low, your skies a shade of grey
          F# minorF#m
Like a zombie in a maze
    A augmentedA         F# minorF#m
You're asleep inside, but you can shake awake

Pre-Chorus 1: Olly Alexander:
C# minorC#m
'Cause you're just a dead man walking
BB
Thinking that's your only option
A augmentedA
But you can flip the switch and brighten up your darkest day
C# minorC#m
Sun is up and the color's blinding
BB
Take the world and redefine it
A augmentedA
Leave behind your narrow mind

You'll never be the same


Chorus: Olly Alexander:
   BB      F# minorF#m
Come alive, come alive
    A augmentedA            E MajorE
Go and light your light, let it burn so bright
     BB     F# minorF#m
Reaching up to the sky
     A augmentedA         E MajorE
And it's open wide, you're electrified
     BB
When the world becomes a fantasy
  F# minorF#m
And you're more than you could ever be
    A augmentedA                  E MajorE
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open
    BB
And you know you can't go back again
    F# minorF#m
To the world that you were living in
    A augmentedA                  BB
'Cause you're dreaming with your eyes wide open

So, come alive

Verse 2: Jess Glynne:
    BB
Oh ah, yeah
         F# minorF#m
I see it in your eyes
  A augmentedA             G# minorG#m        BB
You believe that lie that you need to hide your face

Afraid to step outside
    F# minorF#m
So you lock the door, but don't you stay that way


Pre-Chorus 2: Jess Glynne:
C# minorC#m
No more living in those shadows
BB
You and me, we know how that goes
    A augmentedA
'Cause once you see it all, you'll never, never be the same
C# minorC#m
Little bit of lightnin' striking
BB
Bottle up to keep on shining
A augmentedA
'Cause you can prove there's more to you

You cannot be afraid


Chorus: Olly Alexander & Jess Glynne:

     A augmentedA         E MajorE
And it's open wide, you're electrified

And you're more than you could ever be
