I will survive

Song :
A
Intro :
E7

Verse 1:
   Am                        Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
              G                              Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
           Fmaj7                
But then I spent so many nights, 
         Dm6
thinking how you did me wrong,
           E7sus                 E7
And I grew strong; and I learned how to get along.

               Am               Dm
But now you're back, from outer space,
              G                    
I just walked in, to find you here, 
               Cmaj7
with that sad look upon your face.
              Fmaj7                    
I should have changed that stupid lock,
            Dm6
I should've made you leave your key,
         E7sus                     
If I had known for just one second, 
          E7
you'd be back to bother me.

Chorus 1 :

           Am               Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
            G         
Just turn a-round now, 
                 Cmaj7
'cos you're not welcome anymore.
Fmaj7                         
 Weren't you the one who tried 
   Dm6
to hurt me with goodbye?
                  E7sus   
Did you think I'd crumble; 
                   E7
did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am            Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
       G                          
Oh, as long as I know how to love, 
   Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive.
         Fmaj7               
I've got all my life to live, 
             Dm6
and I've got all my love to give,
             E7sus            E7   
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, 
            Am
I will sur-vive...

Interlude :

Am  Dm  G  Cmaj7, Fmaj7 Dm6  E7sus  E7

Verse 2:

         Am                         
Only the Lord could give me strength 
        Dm
not to fall apart,
               G                      
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces 
       Cmaj7
of my broken heart.
            Fmaj7               
And I spent oh, so many nights, 
            Dm6
just feeling sorry for myself,
          E7sus          E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
            Am           Dm
And you see me; somebody new,
             G                        
I'm not that chained up little person, 
          Cmaj7
still in love with you.
           Fmaj7                
And so you felt like dropping in 
            Dm6
and just ex-pect me to be free,
              E7sus                
Well, now I'm saving all my loving, 
          E7
for some-one who's loving me.

Chorus 2 :

           Am               Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
            G         
Just turn a-round now, 
                 Cmaj7
'cos you're not welcome anymore.
Fmaj7                         
 Weren't you the one who tried 
   Dm6
to crush me with goodbye?
                  E7sus   
Did you think I'd crumble; 
                   E7
did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am            Dm
Oh no, not I; I will sur-vive,
       G                          
And as long as I know how to love, 
   Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive.
         Fmaj7               
I've got all my life to live, 
             Dm6
and I've got all my love to give,
    E7sus          E7              Am
And I will survive, I-I-I will sur-vive.

Just turn a-round now, 
                 Cmaj7
'cos you're not welcome anymore.
Fmaj7                         
 Weren't you the one who tried 
   Dm6
to crush me with goodbye?
                  E7sus   
Did you think I'd crumble; 
                   E7
did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am            Dm
No no, not I; I will sur-vive,

and I've got all my love to give,
             E7sus            E7   
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, 
            Am
I will sur-vive...
