He’s Alive

INTRO - Em - C - G - D x2
VERSE 1
Em C
Won't you remember,
G D
of the times you've been hurt?
Em C
Can you still feel it,
G D
as it eats away at you?
BRIDGE
Am C
And as you go to lock my door,
G
remember all in all,
Em C
that you were a child too one day.
Am C
Another parental face of hate,
G
going to hurt and hurt again,
Em C
for the feeling of their own pleasure.
VERSE 2
Em C
A tired poor little boy,
G D
tries to sing a song he enjoys,
Em C
from his bruised and beaten mouth,
G D
but nothing comes out,
G D
oh, nothing comes out.
BRIDGE 2
Am C
Now I sing for the poor boy,
G
taken away by force,
Em C
no one will bother him no more.
Am C
He can rest away from this place,
G
with a smile finally on his face,
Em C
remember the evil of crime.
Am C
Oh don't leave me alone,
G
in this home,
Em C
remember the evil of crime.
Am C
I've got a smile finally on my face,
G
in this place,
Em D
where no living people go.
- End on Em -
