I WILL SURVIVE
by Gloria Gayner
[Intro]
E7
[Verse]
Am Dm
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.
Am Dm
But now you're back, from outer space,
G Cmaj7
I just walked in, to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
Fmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
Bm7b5
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]
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
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?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G 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, and I've got all my love to give,
Esus4 E Am
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, I will sur-vive...
[Interlude]
Am Dm G Cmaj7 Fmaj7 Bm7b5 Esus4 E
[Verse]
Am Dm
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 E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Am Dm
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
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, for some-one who's loving me.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
G Cmaj7
Just turn a-round now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to crush me with goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
G Cmaj7
And as long as I know how to love, I know 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 will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.
[Break]
Am Dm
