It's been a long time since I watched these lights alone

With my beautiful plans

Watching these trucks blow by

'cuz those dreams are dead
E A E A
But I'm alive
E A
Look at the way I believed in you and loved you all these years

E A
And I thought that it would kill me, but I'm alive!

The words in paren's are background vocals. Tacet means (or at least
I mean) to break off strumming, i.e. there's no music played while
singing "But I'm alive".
