I Will Survive

    Am                        Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
              G                              C
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
        Am                           Dm
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
             E
And I grew strong
               E7
And I learned how to get along

               Am              Dm
And so you're back from outer space
              G                                   C
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face
               Am
I should have changed that stupid lock
               Dm
I should have made you leave your key
          E                                 E7
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

           Am               Dm
Go on now, go walk out the door
           G
Just turn around now
                  C
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
 Am                              Dm
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
                   E
Did you think I'd crumble?
                   E7
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
          Am         Dm
Oh no not I, I will survive
        G                             C
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
          Am
I've got all my life to live
             Dm
And I've got all my love to give
       E
I'll survive
        E7
I will survive

Hey hey

[Interlude]
Am   Dm   G   C
Am   Dm   E   E7

    Am                        Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
              G                              C
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
        Am                           Dm
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
          E                              E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
           Am            Dm
And you see me, somebody new
              G                                   C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
            Am                               Dm
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
             E                                 E7
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

           Am               Dm
Go on now, go walk out the door
           G
Just turn around now
                  C
