I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor [Intro] - single strums At [Am] first I was afraid I was [Dm7] petrified Kept thinkin' [G] I could never live without you [Cmaj7] by my side But then I [Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinkin' [Bm7] How you did me wrong... and I grew [E] strong... and I learned [E7] how to get along Verse 1: And so you're [Am] back... from outer [Dm7] space I just walked [G] in to find you here with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Bm7] made you leave your key If I'd've [E] known for just one second you'd be [E7] back to bother me Verse 2: Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm7] door Just turn a[G]round now... 'cause you're not [Cmaj7] welcome anymore [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7] hurt me with goodbye Did I [E] crumble... Did you think I'd [E7] lay down and die? |Chorus: |Oh no, not [Am] I... I will sur[Dm7]vive |Oh as [G] long as I know how to love I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive |I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live... I've got [Bm7] all my love to give |And I'll sur[E]vive... I will sur[E7]vive... Hey [Am] hey [Dm] [G] [Cmaj7] |[Fmaj7] [Bm7] [E] [E7] Verse 3: It took [Am] all the strength I had... not to [Dm7] fall apart Kept trying' [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart And I spent [Fmaj7] oh so many nights just feeling [Bm7] sorry for myself I used to [E] cry... but now I [E7] hold my head up high Verse 4: And you see [Am] me... somebody [Dm7] new I'm not that [G] chained up little person still in [Cmaj7] love with you And so you [Fmaj7] felt like droppin' in and just ex[Bm7]pect me to be free Now I'm [E] savin' all my lovin' for some[E7]one who's lovin' me Verse 5: Go on now [Am] go... walk out the [Dm7] door Just turn a[G]round now...
