I Will Survive

[Intro]

A7


[Verse]

Dm Gm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
C Fmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
But then I spent so many nights, thinking how you did me wrong,
Asus4 A
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

Dm Gm
But now you're back, from outer space,
C Fmaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Bbmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
Em7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
Asus4 A
If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.


[Chorus]

Dm Gm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
C Fmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Asus4 A
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Dm Gm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
C Fmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Asus4 A Dm
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…

Dm Gm C Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Em7b5 Asus4 A


[Verse]

Dm Gm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
C Fmaj7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
Asus4 A7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Dm Gm
And you see me; somebody new,
C Fmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free,
Asus4 A
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.


[Chorus]

Dm Gm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
C Fmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Asus4 A
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Dm Gm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
C Fmaj7
And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Asus4 A Dm
And I will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.

And as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
Bbmaj7 Em7b5
I've got all my life to live, and I've got all my love to give,
Asus4 A Dm
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive…
