I Won't Survive
Gloria Gaynor
Intro - tremolo:
I've [Am] always been afraid I've been [Dm] petrified
Kept thinkin' [G] I could never live without you [C] by my side
And then I [Am] spent so many nights, thinkin'
[Dm] How you did me wrong... I wasn't [E7] strong... and I learned
[E7] not to get along
Verse 1:
And so you're [Am] back... from outer [Dm] space
I just walked [G] in to find you here with that mad [C] look upon your face
I should have [Am] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Dm] made you leave your key
If I'd've [E7] known for just one second you'd be [E7] back to bother me
Verse 2:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [C] welcome anymore
[Am] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7] crumble... Did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
|Chorus:
|Oh no, not [Am] I... I won't sur[Dm]vive
|Oh as [G] long as I don't have your love I [C] know I'll surely die
|I've got [Am] no life to live... I've got [Dm] no more love to give
|I won't sur[E7]vive... I won't sur[E7]vive... Hey [Am] hey [Dm] [G] [C]
|[Am] [Dm] [E7] [E7]
Verse 3:
You took [Am] all the strength I had... and I [Dm] fell apart
Kept trying' [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [C] broken heart
And I spent [Am] oh so many nights just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself
I used to [E7] cry... and I can't [E7] hold my head up high
Verse 4:
And you see [Am] me... somebody [Dm] through
I'm was that [G] chained up little person still in [C] love with you
And so you [Am] felt like droppin' in and just ex[Dm]pect me to be free
Now I've [E7] given all my lovin' to some[E7]one not lovin' me
Verse 5:
Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [C] welcome anymore
[Am] Weren't you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7] crumble... did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die?
Chorus:
[Am – single strum]
