I Will Survive

Am Dm G C F B E E7
               Am                                 Dm
          At first I was afraid, I was petrified
                                  G                    G7                        C
          I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
                           F                                                       B
          But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you've done me wrong
                      E                         E7
          I grew strong, I learned how to get along

          And so you're back from outer space
          I just walked in to find you here without that look upon your face
          I should have changed my fuckin' lock, I would have made you leave your key
          If I had had know for just one second you'd be back to bother me

                    Well now, go, walk out the door
                    Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore
                    Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
                    Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

                              Oh not I, I will survive
                              Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive
                              I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
                              I will survive, I will survive, yeah, yeah
                                                  *Solo*

          It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
          I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
          And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
          I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

          And you see me with somebody new
          I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
          And so you thought you'd just drop by, and you expect me to be free
          But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone whose lovin' me

                    Well now, go, walk out the door
                    Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore
                    Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
                    Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

                              Oh not I, I will survive
                              Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive
                              I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
                              I will survive, I will survive, yeah, yeah...
                                                  *Solo*
