Am  Em  Am  Em


[Verse 1]
           Am           Em           Am     Em
There's a million combinations and this is one
           Am           Em         Am     Em
There's a million combinations and I am one
           C
There's a million ways to win or lose
           Dm
There's a million ways to cheat
           F                          Am Em Am Em
There's a million ways to show yourself


[Verse 2]
           Am           Em           Am     Em
There's a million constellations and this is one
           Am           Em           Am     Em
There's a million destinations and this is one
           C
There's a million ways to show your hand
           Dm
There's a million ways to lose
           F
There's a million ways to prove yourself



[Chorus]
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
       D
Don't listen to your heart
        F
Just listen to your head
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
        D
If you want to stay alive
      F
Then listen to your head


[Post-Chorus]
Am  Em  Am  Em  x2


[Verse 3]
           Am           Em           Am     Em
There are endless wrong directions along the way
           Am      Em         Am     Em
And endless conversations we did not say
          C
I don't think that it's heaven
         Dm
And I don't think that it's hell
       F
We're all afraid of knowing


[Chorus]
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
       D
Don't listen to your heart
        F
Just listen to your head
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
        D
If you want to stay alive
      F
Then listen to your head

            Am
And if you want to go back
               D
Well, you can never go back
            Am
And if you want to stay alive
      D                 Am
Just listen to your head


[Instrumental Bridge]
Am  F  Dm  E  Am


[Chorus]
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
       D
Don't listen to your heart
        F
Just listen to your head
        Am
If you want to stay alive
     C
You got to play dead
        D
If you want to stay alive
      F
Then listen to your head
           Am
And if you want to go back
           D
Well, you can never go back
            Am
And if you want to stay alive
      D
Just listen to your head
