I Will Survive


[A]-[Dm]-[G]-[C]-[F]-[B]-[E]-[E7] (guitar)
At
[Am] first I was afraid, I was
[Dm] petrified. I kept thinkin'
[G] I could never live without you
[C] by my side. But then I
[F] spent so many nights just thinking
[B] how you've done me wrong I grew
[E] strong, I learned
[E7] how to get along

And so
[Am] you're back from outer
[Dm] space. I just walked
[G] in to find you here with that, that
[C] look upon your face. I should have
[F] changed my fucking lock. I would have
[B] made you leave your key if I'd have
[E] known for just one second you'd be
[E7] back to bother me.

Oooooh
[Am] now go, waaalk
[Dm] out the door. Just
[G] turn around now, you're not
[C] welcome anymore.
[F] Weren't you the one who tried to
[B] break me with desire? Did you think I'd
[E] crumble? Do you think I'd
[E7] lay down and die?

Oh now
[Am] I, I will
[Dm] survive. Yeah, as
[G] long as I know how to love, I
[C] know I'll be alive. I've got
[F] all my life to live. I've got
[B] all my love to give.
I will sur-[E]-vive
I will sur-[E7]-vive

Yeah, yeah...

It took
[Am] all the strength I had just not to
[Dm] fall apart. I'm tryin'
  [G] hard to mend the pieces of my
[C] broken heart. And I
[F] spent oh so many nights just feelin'
[B] sorry for myself, I used to
[E] cry, but now I
[E7] hold my head up high.

And
[Am] you'll see me with
[Dm] somebody new. I'm not that
[G] stupid little person still in
[C] love with you. And so you
[F] thought you'd just drop by and you
[B] expect me to be free, But now I'm
[E] saving all my lovin' for some-
[E7]-one who's lovin' me,

Oh now
[Am] go, walk out the
[Dm] door. Just
[G] turn around now, you're not
[C] welcome anymore.
[F] Weren't you the one who tried to
[B] break me with desire? Did you think I'd
[E] crumble? Do you think I'd
[E7] lay down and die?

Oh not
[Am] I, I will
[Dm] survive. Yeah, as
[G] long as I know how to love I
[C] know I'll be alive. I've got
[F] all my life to live. I've got
[B] all my love to give,
I will sur-[E]-vive
I will sur-[E7]-vive
Yeah, yeah...
