Alive and Breathing

By: Matt Maher

Transpose:
VERSE 1
F#                      
  What holds your heart 
C#                     
  What stirs your soul 
D#m                      B              
  What matters come to mind 
F#
  The cares you keep 
C#
  The thoughts you think 
D#m                     B      
  It’s not all wasted time 
C#    D#m                B
    Seek and you will find 

CHORUS
F#             
  Joy still comes in the morning 
G#m
  Hope still walks with the hurting 
D#m
  If you’re still alive and breathing 
B
  Praise the Lord 
F#
  Don’t stop dancing and dreaming 
G#m
  There’s still Good News worth repeating 
D#m
  So lift your head and keep singing 
B
  Praise the Lord 

VERSE 2
F# 
   Years roll by 
G#m
   We wonder why 
D#m                       B
   We lost our way from home 
F#
   Our Father finds 
G#m
   The child inside 
D#m                          B
   We had left for growing old 
  C#     D#m              B
Awake, awake, awake my soul 

Bridge
F#/A#             B               C#
   Let everything, let everything, let everything  
            F#/A#
Praise the Lord 
        B               C#                            
In the working, in the waiting 
            F#/A#   
Praise the Lord 
          B               C#          
In the blessing, in the breaking  
            F#/A#        
Praise the Lord 
        B          C#          
In the dying, the rising 
                   F#/A#    B     C#           
Let it praise the Lord 
                   F#/A#    B     C#           
Let it praise the Lord
            F#        
praise the Lord
