I Will Survive

Am Dm G C F B E E7


[Verse 1]

   Am                           Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
                G                              C
I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
             F                                B7
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you've done me wrong
        E                E7
I grew strong, 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 without that look upon your face,
               F                                   B7
I should have changed my fuckin' lock, I would've made you leave your key-
            E                                  E7
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.


[Chorus]

       Am               Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
            G                     C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
         F                         B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
                   E                          E7
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
       Am           Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
          G                              C
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
          F                             B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
          E                E7          Am
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...

[Verse 2]

    Am                              Dm
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,
      G                             C
I'm tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
             F                               B7
And I spent oh so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself,
          E               E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
               Am                Dm
And you'll see me with somebody new,
     G                              C
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.
              F                                  B7
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free,
            E                            E7
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,


[Chorus]

       Am               Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
            G                     C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
         F                         B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
                   E                          E7
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
       Am           Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
          G                              C
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
          F                             B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
          E                E7          Am
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...
