I Will Survive

[Intro]

G#7


[Verse]

C#m F#m
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
B Emaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
G#sus4 G#
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

C#m F#m
But now you're back, from outer space,
B Emaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Amaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
D#m7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
G#sus4 G#
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.


[Chorus]

C#m F#m
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
B Emaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
G#sus4 G#
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
C#m F#m
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
B Emaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
G#sus4 G# C#m
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…


[Interlude]

C#m F#m B Emaj7 Amaj7 D#m7b5 G#sus4 G#


[Verse]

C#m F#m
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
B Emaj7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
G#sus4 G#7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
C#m F#m
And you see me; somebody new,
B Emaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
G#sus4 G#
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.


[Chorus]

C#m F#m
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
B Emaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
G#sus4 G#
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
C#m F#m
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
B Emaj7
And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
G#sus4 G# C#m
And I will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.


[Break]

And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Amaj7 D#m7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,

And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…
