I Will Survive

# Am Dm At first I was afraid, I was petrified G7 Cmaj7 Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong E And I grew strong E7 And I learned how to get along Am Dm And so you're back from outer space G7 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 E E7 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 G7 Just turn around now Cmaj7 'Coz you're not welcome anymore fmaj7 Bm7b5 Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? E Did you think I'd crumble? E7 Did you think I'd lay down and die? Am Dm Oh no not I, I will survive G7 Cmaj7 For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive Fmaj7 I've got all my life to live Bm7b5 And I've got all my love to give E I'll survive E7 I will survive Hey hey... For the rest of the song, repeat ADGCFBEE75 If you play with a bassist, Bm7b5 can be Dm with B in the bass, i.e. Dm/B The rest of the words are: It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high And you see me, somebody new I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me Go on now, go walk out the door Just turn around now You're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no not I, I will survive Oh as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give I'll survive I will survive Hey hey (x2)
