[Strophe]
Dm            Bb                      F     C 
  Never be so kind, you forget to be clever 
Dm            Bb                        F    C 
  Never be so clever, you forget to be kind
[Pre-Refrain]
F                      Bb 
  And if I didn't know better 
                 F                  C 
  I'd think you were talking to me now 
F                  Bb 
  If I didn't know better 
F                            C 
  I'd think you were still around
[Refrain]
Dm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                            C 
  You're alive, you're alive in my head 
Dm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                      C 
  You're alive, so alive
[Strophe]
Gm              Bb                     F    C 
  Never be so polite, you forget your power 
Gm                 Bb                         F  C 
  Never wield such power, you forget to be polite
[Pre-Refrain]
F                      Bb 
  And if I didn't know better 
                 F                    C 
  I'd think you were listening to me now 
F                  Bb 
  If I didn't know better 
F                            C 
  I'd think you were still around
[Refrain]
Gm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F

                            C 
  You're alive, you're alive in my head 
Gm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                      C 
  You're alive, so alive
[Pont]
Dm 
  The autumn chill that wakes me up 
Bb 
  You loved the amber skies so much 
F 
  Long limbs and frozen swims 
        C 
  You'd always go past where our feet could touch 
Dm 
  And I complained the whole way there 
Bb 
  The car ride back and up the stairs 
F 
  I should've asked you questions 
C 
  I should've asked you how to be 
F                       Bb 
  Asked you to write it down for me 
                        F 
  Should've kept every grocery store receipt 
                C 
  'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me 
Gm                           Bb 
  Watched as you signed your name Marjorie 
                       F 
  All your closets of backlogged dreams 
               C 
  And how you left them all to me
[Refrain]
Gm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                            C 
  You're alive, you're alive in my head 
Gm                 Bb 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                    F 
  What died didn't stay dead 
                      C 
  You're alive, so alive
[Post-Refrain]
Gm                    Bb 
 And if I didn't know better 
               F                  C 
I'd think you were singing to me now 
F                 Bb 
 If I didn't know better 
F                           C 
 I'd think you were still around 
F       Bb 
 I know better 
             F             C 
But I still feel you all around 
F       Bb 
 I know better 
F                       C 
 But you're still around
