Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive

Originally in Am, I play in Am and sing down an octave

E7

Let ring

At Amfirst I was afraid, I was Dm7petrified

Kept thinking GI could never live without you Cmaj7by my side

But then I Fmaj7spent so many nights thinking Bm7b5how you did me wrong

And I grew Esus4strong, and I learned Ehow to get along

At tempo

And so you’re Amback from outer Dm7space

I just walked Gin to find you here with that sad Cmaj7look upon your face

I should have Fmaj7changed that stupid lock, I should have mBm7b5ade you leave your key

If I had Esus4known for just one second you’d be Eback to bother me

Go on now Amgo, walk out the dDm7oor

Just turn arGound now ‘cause you’re not Cmaj7welcome anymore

Fmaj7Weren’t you the one who tried to Bm7b5hurt me with goodbye

Did you think I’d cEsus4rumble? Did you think EI’d lay down and die?

Am7Dm7GCmaj7

Fmaj7Bm7b5Esus4E

It took Amall the strength I had not to Dm7fall apart

Kept trying Ghard to mend the pieces of my Cmaj7broken heart

And I spent Fmaj7oh so many nights just feeling Bm7b5sorry for myself

I used to Esus4cry, but now I Ehold my head up high

And you see Amme, somebody Dm7new

I’m not that Gchained up little person still in Cmaj7love with you

And so you Fmaj7felt like dropping in and just exBm7b5pect me to be free

Now I’m Esus4saving all my loving for someEone who’s loving me

Go on now Amgo walk out the Dm7door

Just turn Garound now ‘cause you’re not Cmaj7welcome anymore

Fmaj7Weren’t you the one who tried to Bm7b5break me with goodbye

Did you think Esus4I’d crumble? Did you think EI’d lay down and die?

Go on now Amgo walk out the Dm7door

Just turn Garound now ‘cause you’re not Cmaj7welcome anymore

Fmaj7Weren’t you the one who tried to Bm7b5break me with goodbye

Did you think Esus4I’d crumble? Did you think EI’d lay down and die?
