[Verse]
Am7 Dm7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
G7 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, I learned how to get along
Am7 Dm7
And so you're back from outer space
G G7 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 made you leave your key
Esus4 E
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7
Go on now go, walk out the door
G G7 Cmaj7
Just turn around 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 crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die
Am7 Dm7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G G7 Cmaj7
As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
Esus4 E Am7
And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
[Instrumental]
Am7 Dm7 G G7 Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E
[Verse]
Am7 Dm7
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
G G7 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
Am7 Dm7
And you see me somebody new
G G7 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 expect me to be free
Esus4 E
Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7
Go on now go walk out the door
G G7 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?
Am7 Dm7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G G7 Cmaj7
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
Esus4 E
And I'll survive, I will survive, oh .....
[Chorus]
Am7 Dm7
Go on now go walk out the door
G G7 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?
Am7 Dm7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G G7 Cmaj7
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
Esus4 E Am7
And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive
[Instrumental]
