am dm7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
G Cmaj7
I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
F B7
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you'd done me wrong
E E7
I grew strong, I learned how to get along
am dm7
And so you're back, from outer space
G Cmaj7
I just walked in to find you here without that look upon your face
F B7
I should have changed my fuckin' lock, I would have made you leave your key
E E7
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
am dm7
Oh, now go, walk out the door
G Cmaj7
Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore
F B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
E E7
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
am dm7
Oh not I, I will survive, yeah
G Cmaj7
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
F B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
E E7
I will survive, I will survive, yeah yeah!
am dm7
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
G Cmaj7
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
F B7
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
E E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
am dm7
And you see me with somebody new
G Cmaj7
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
F B7
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free
E E7
but now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
am dm7
Oh, now go, walk out the door
G Cmaj7
Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore
F B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
E E7
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
am dm7
Oh not I, I will survive, yeah
G Cmaj7
As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
F B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
E E7
I will survive, I will survive, yeah yeah!
