I Will Survive

Intro: 0:00
E7!!

Verse 1: 0:06
    Am
At first I was afraid,
       Dm
I was petrified,
              G
Kept thinking I could never live
             Cmaj7
Without you by my side.
0:14
             Fmaj7
But then I spent so many nights
          Bm7/5-
Thinking how you did me wrong,
              Esus4
And I grew strong,
               E
And I learned how to get along.

Verse 2: 0:22
               Am
So now you're back
             Dm
From outer space.
              G
I just walked in to find you here
               Cmaj7
With that sad look upon your face.
0:30
              Fmaj7
I should've changed that stupid lock,
             Bm7/5-
I should've made you leave your key,
              Esus4
If I'd have known for just one second,
          E
You'd be back to bother me.

Chorus: 0:38
            Am
Go on now, go,
              Dm
Walk out the door,
            G
Just turn around now,
                   Cmaj7
'Cause you're not welcome anymore.
0:47
Fmaj7
  Weren't you the one who tried
    Bm7/5-
To hurt me with goodbye?
                    Esus4
Did you think I'd crumble?
                   E
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
0:55
           Am
Oh no, not I.
           Dm
I will survive.
        G
Oh, as long as I know how to love,
    Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive.
1:03
         Fmaj7
I've got all my life to live,
             Bm7/5-
And I've got all my love to give,
             Esus4
And I'll survive,
           E
I will survive!
     Am ->
Hey hey.

Verse 3: 1:28
        Am
It took all the strength I had
        Dm
Not to fall apart,
              G
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces
        Cmaj7
Of my broken heart.
1:36
            Fmaj7
And I spent oh, so many nights
              Bm7/5-
Just feeling sorry for myself,
            Esus4
I used to cry,
           E
But now I hold my head up high.

Verse 4: 1:44
             Am
And you see me,
          Dm
Somebody new.
               G
I'm not that chained up little person
          Cmaj7
Still in love with you.
1:52
            Fmaj7
And so you felt like dropping in
            Bm7/5-
And just expect me to be free,
               Esus4
Well, now I'm saving all my loving
        E
For someone who's loving me.

Chorus: 2:01 2:09 2:17 2:25
....................
             Esus4
And I'll survive,
           E
I will survive... Oh...

Chorus: 2:38 2:46 2:54 3:02
....................
             Esus4
And I'll survive,
           E
I will survive,
           Am ->
I will survive.
