Cheating Death (CHORDS) by Tom Chaplin

[Verse 1]~
~Bm                 ~A
Quick to burn but slow to learn

     ~G
With every breath

~D
Cheating death

~Bm
Life's a storm

       ~A
You've got to keep warm

           ~G                   ~D
Cause with every breath you're cheating death


[Pre-chorus 1]~
~Bm
Breathe in

~A
Breathe out

~Bm     ~A/C#             ~D
Never look down at that empty lake

     ~Em
That pit of snakes

     ~Bm                  ~A
That dream from which no one awakes


[Verse 2]~
~Bm
Times are tough

    ~A
The water's rough

   ~G                   ~D
At best you'll be cast out to sea

~Bm
Wind don't fail

        ~A
Let it bend your sail

         ~G                         ~D
Let the natural force blow you to safer shores


[Pre-chorus 2]~
     ~Bm    ~A
And never think how

    ~Bm       ~A/C#               ~D
We blink in, blink out of this universe

     ~Em
The stars will burst

          ~Bm
There's no reverse

     ~A
This life's a curse


[Chorus 1]~
~G           ~D/F#         ~Em         ~D
Just keep believing till your dying day

~G              ~D/F#           ~Em           ~D
Don't let the night in, keep lighting your way

~C               ~G             ~D
You've got the strength to go on

~C              ~G           ~D
Search in yourself and be strong

~C              ~G           ~A
Search in yourself and be strong


[Instrumental]~
~G ~D ~G ~Bm
~G ~D ~A ~A7


[Chorus 2]~
~G           ~D/F#         ~Em         ~D
Just keep believing till your dying day

~G              ~D/F#           ~Em           ~D
Don't let the night in, keep lighting your way

~C               ~G             ~D
You've got the strength to go on

~C              ~G           ~D
Search in yourself and be strong


[Bridge]~
~C                 ~G
Keep on searching on

                  ~D
Keep on searching on

~C                 ~G
Keep on searching on

                  ~D
Keep on searching on

~C              ~G            ~A
Search in yourself and be strong
