I'm Not Dead

There's always cracks:

a crack of sunlight, a crack in the mirror or on your lips.

It's the morning on a sunset Friday when all conversations twist.

It's the (Cm)fifth day of ice on a new tattoo,

but the ice should be on our heads.

We only spun the web to catch ourselves,

so (Eb)we weren't left for dead.

(Fsus2)And I was never lookin' for (Eb)approval from anyone but you.

And though this journey's over, I'd go back if you asked me to.

(Cm7)I'm not (C)dead,

just floating.

(Ebsus2)Right between the ink on your tattoo and the (Fm9)belly of the beast (Eb)we turned into,

(Cm7)I'm not (C)scared,

just changing.

(Eb5)Right behind the cigarrette and the devilish smile,

you're (Eb)my crack of sunlight.

(C)You can (C5)do the math a thousand ways but you can't erase the facts

that others come and others go,

but you always come back.

I'm the (Cm)winter flower underground, always thirsty for summer rain,

and just like the change in seasons,

I know you'll be back again.

(Eb)I'm not dead just yet.

not dead, I'm just floating.

(Bb5)does n't matter I'm go ing;

(Eb)I'll find I'm not scared at all.

derneath the cuts and bruises, (Bb5)find the game where one los es.

(Eb)I'll find I will find you.

(Cm7)I'm not (Bb)dead,

just (Fm9)floating.

(Ebsus2)I'm not (Bb)scared,

just changing.

(Eb)You're my crack of sunlight.
