Originally in Am, I play in Am and sing down an octave
E7 |
Let ring
Am | Dm7 | |
At | first I was afraid, I was | petrified |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Kept thinking | I could never live without you | by my side |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
But then I | spent so many nights thinking | how you did me wrong |
Esus4 | E | |
And I grew | strong, and I learned | how to get along |
At tempo
Am | Dm7 | |
And so you’re | back from outer | space |
G | Cmaj7 | |
I just walked | in to find you here with that sad | look upon your face |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
I should have | changed that stupid lock, I should have m | ade you leave your key |
Esus4 | E | |
If I had | known for just one second you’d be | back to bother me |
Am | Dm7 | |
Go on now | go, walk out the d | oor |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Just turn ar | ound now ‘cause you’re not | welcome anymore |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 |
Weren’t you the one who tried to | hurt me with goodbye |
Esus4 | E | |
Did you think I’d c | rumble? Did you think | I’d lay down and die? |
Am | Dm7 | |
Oh no, not | I, I will sur | vive |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Oh, as | long as I know how to love I k | now I’ll stay alive |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
I’ve got | all my life to live, and I’ve got | all my love to give |
Esus4 | E | Am | |
And I’ll sur | vive, I will sur | vive, hey h | ey |
Am7 | Dm7 | G | Cmaj7 |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | Esus4 | E |
Am | Dm7 | |
It took | all the strength I had not to | fall apart |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Kept trying | hard to mend the pieces of my | broken heart |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
And I spent | oh so many nights just feeling | sorry for myself |
Esus4 | E | |
I used to | cry, but now I | hold my head up high |
Am | Dm7 | |
And you see | me, somebody | new |
G | Cmaj7 | |
I’m not that | chained up little person still in | love with you |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
And so you | felt like dropping in and just ex | pect me to be free |
Esus4 | E | |
Now I’m | saving all my loving for some | one who’s loving me |
Am | Dm7 | |
Go on now | go walk out the | door |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Just turn | around now ‘cause you’re not | welcome anymore |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 |
Weren’t you the one who tried to | break me with goodbye |
Esus4 | E | |
Did you think | I’d crumble? Did you think | I’d lay down and die? |
Am | Dm7 | |
Oh no, not | I, I will sur | vive |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Oh | as long as I know how to love I kn | ow I’ll stay alive |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 | |
I’ve got | all my life to live, I’ve got | all my love to give |
Hang on the second “survive”
Esus4 | E | |
And I’ll sur | vive, I will sur | vive, oh |
Am | Dm7 | |
Go on now | go walk out the | door |
G | Cmaj7 | |
Just turn | around now ‘cause you’re not | welcome anymore |
Fmaj7 | Bm7b5 |
Weren’t you the one who tried to | break me with goodbye |
Esus4 | E | |
Did you think | I’d crumble? Did you think | I’d lay down and die? |
Am | Dm7 | |
Oh no, not | I, I will sur | vive |

Oh | as long as I know how to love I kn | ow I’ll stay alive |
