I Will Survive

E7b9 Am Dm At first I was afraid, I was petrified, G Cmaj7 Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong, Esus4 E And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along. Am Dm And so you're back, from outer space, G Cmaj7 I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face. Fmaj7 I should have changed that stupid lock, Bm7b5 I should have made you leave your key, Esus4 E If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me. Am Dm Go on now, go; walk out the door; G Cmaj7 Just turn around now, 'cos you're not welcome any more. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye? Esus4 E Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die? Am Dm Oh no, not I; I will survive, G Cmaj7 Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, Esus4 E Am And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey Am Dm G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E Am Dm It took all the strength I had not to fall apart. G Cmaj7 Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself, Esus4 E7 I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high. Am Dm And you see me; somebody new, G Cmaj7 I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free, Esus4 E Now I'm saving all my loving, for someone who's loving me. Am Dm Go on now, go; walk out the door; G Cmaj7 Just turn around now, 'cos you're not welcome any more. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? Esus4 E Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die? Am Dm Oh no, not I; I will survive, G Cmaj7 Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive. Fmaj7 Bm7b5 I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, Esus4 E And I'll survive, I will survive... oh Am Dm Go on now, go; walk out the door; G Cmaj7 Just turn around now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
