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? |
