I Will Survive

[Intro]:Am Dm G C F B E

 

Am Dm

At first I was afraid, I was petrified

G C

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

F B

But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

And I grew strong and I learned how to get along

 

Am Dm

And so you´re back from outer space

G C

I just walked in to find you here with that Sad look upon your face.

I should have changed that stupid lock

B

I should have made you leave your key

If I´d known for just one second you´d be back to bother me.

 

Am Dm

Go on now go, walk out the door. Just turn around now.

G C

Cause you´re not welcome anymore. Weren´t you the one

F B

Who tried to hurt me with goodbye? You think I´d crumble?

You think I´d lay down and die?

 

Am Dm

Oh no, not I. I will survive. Oh, as long as I know how to love

G C

I know I´ll stay alive. I´ve got all my life to live.

F B

I´ve got all my love to give.

I'll survive. I will survive, hey, hey

 

Am Dm

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.

G C

Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.

F B

And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself.

I used to cry. But now I hold my head up high.

 

Am Dm

And you see me with somebody new. I´m not that chained-up little person

G C

Still in love with you. And so you felt like dropping in

F B

And just expect me to be free. Well now I´m saving all my lovin´

For someone who´s lovin´ me.

 

Am Dm

Go on now go. Walk out the door. Just turn around now.

G C

Cause you´re not welcome anymore. Weren´t you the one

F B

Who tried to break me with goodbye? You think I´d crumble?

You think I´d lay down and die? Oh no, not I.

 

Am Dm

I will survive. Oh as long as I know how to love

G C

I know I´ll stay alive. I´ve got all my life to live.

F B

And I´ve got all my love to give. I'll survive.

I will survive, hey, hey!
