[Intro]
(Em  Am7/E  B7/E  C/B  D) x2
[Strophe]
E                      A/E 
 You could never know what it's like 
       B                         E 
 your blood like winter freezes just like ice 
             F#m7/E                   A/E        B 
 and there's cold lonely light that shines from you 
          C#m                       A 
 you'll wind up like the wreck you hide 
             E    F#m/E  E 
 behind that mask you-   use
[Strophe]
E                                  A/E 
 And did you think this fool could never win 
       B                     E 
 Well, look at me I'm comin' back again 
         F#m7/E              A/E    B 
 I got a taste of love in a simple way 
            C#m                            A 
 and if you need to know while I'm still standing, 
          E    F#m/E  E 
 you just fade a-     way
[Refrain]
                Em7         Em                   Bm7 
 Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did 
                Am9                          Cmaj7     D 
 Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin'like a little kid 
 Em7         Em            Bm7 
 I'm still standing after all this time 
                Am9           Am7             B7 
 Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind 
 B7#9        Em      Am7        B7 
 I'm still standing, yea, yea, yea  
 B7#9        Em      Am7        B7     C/B  D 
 I'm still standing, yea, yea, yea
[Strophe]
E                      A/E 
 Once I never could've hope to win 
     B                             E 
 you staring down the road leaving me again 
     F#m7/E                         A/E    B 
 The threats you made were meant to cut me down 
            C#m               A 
 and if our love was just a circus, 
              E   F#m/E  E 
 you'd be a clown by-    now
[Refrain]
                Em7         Em                   Bm7 
 Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did 
                Am9                          Cmaj7     D 
 Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin'like a little kid 
 Em7         Em            Bm7 
 I'm still standing after all this time 
                Am9           Am7             B7 
 Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind 
 B7#9        Em      Am7        B7 
 I'm still standing, yea, yea, yea  
 B7#9        Em      Am7        B7     C/B  D 
 I'm still standing, yea, yea, yea-
