I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor Intro - tremolo: At [Am]first I was afraid I was [Dm]petrified Kept thinkin' [G]I could never live without you [C]by my side But then I [Am]spent so many nights, thinkin' [Dm]How you did me wrong... and I grew [E7]strong... and I learned [E7]how 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 sad [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 will sur[Dm]vive |Oh as [G]long as I know how to love I [C]know I'll stay alive |I've got [Am]all my life to live... I've got [Dm]all my love to give |And I'll sur[E7]vive... I will sur[E7]vive... Hey [Am]hey [Dm] [G] [C] |[Am] [Dm] [E7] [E7] Verse 3: It took [Am]all the strength I had... not to [Dm]fall 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... but now I [E7]hold my head up high Verse 4: And you see [Am]me... somebody [Dm]new I'm not 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'm [E7]savin' all my lovin' for some[E7]one who's 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]
