I Will Survive

At (Am)first I was afraid, I was (Dm)petrified;

kept thinkin' (G)I could never live without you (Cmaj7)by my side.

But then I (Fmaj7)spent so many nights thinkin' (Bm7)how you did me wrong and I grew (E7sus)strong,

and I learned (E7)how to get along.

And so you're (Am)back from outer (Dm)space.

I just walk (G)in to find you here with that sad (Cmaj7)look upon your face.

I should have (Fmaj7)changed that stupid lock,

I should have (Bm7)made you leave your key if I'd've (E7sus)known for just one second you'd be (E7)back to bother me.

Go on, now (Am)go, walk out the (Dm)door.

Just turn (G)around now, 'cause you're not (Cmaj7)welcome anymore.

(Fmaj7)Weren't you the one who tried to (Bm7)hurt me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd (E7sus)crumble, did you think I'd (E7)lay down and die?

Oh no, not (Am)I, I will (Dm)survive.

Oh, as (G)long as I know how to love,

I (Cmaj7)know I'll stay alive.

I've got (Fmaj7)all my life to live,

I've got (Bm7)all my love to give and I'll (E7sus)survive,

I will (E7)survive!

It took (Am)all the strength I had not to (Dm)fall apart;

kept tryin' (G)hard to mend the pieces of my (Cmaj7)broken heart.

And I spent, (Fmaj7)oh, so many nights feelin' (Bm7)sorry for myself.

I used to (E7sus)cry, but now I (E7)hold my head up high.

And you see (Am)me, somebody (Dm)new,

I'm not that (G)chained up little person still in (Cmaj7)love with you.

your face.

And so you (Fmaj7)felt like droppin' in and just (Bm7)expect me to be free.

Well now, I'm (E7sus)savin' all my lovin' for (E7)someone who's lovin' me.

Go on, now (Am)go, walk out the (Dm)door.

Just turn (G)around now, 'cause you're not (Cmaj7)welcome anymore.

(Fmaj7)Weren't you the one who tried to (Bm7)hurt me with goodbye?

Did you think I'd (E7sus)crumble, did you think I'd (E7)lay down and die?

Oh no, not (Am)I, I will (Dm)survive.

Oh, as (G)long as I know how to love,

I (Cmaj7)know I'll stay alive.

I've got (Fmaj7)all my life to live,

I've got (Bm7)all my love to give and I'll (E7sus)survive,

I will (E7)survive!

It took vive.
