At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
              G                               C
kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
            Fmaj7 
But then I spent so many nights 
         h7-5
thinkin' how you did me wrong.
              E 
And I grew strong.
              E7
And I learned how to get along. 


               a                d
And so you're back from outer space.
              G                                  C 
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face.
               Fmaj7
I should have changed my stupid lock.
               h7-5
I should have made you leave your key
              E 
If I'd have known for just one second
          E7
You'd be back to bother me. 


        a                d
Oh now go, walk out the door.
             G                           C
 Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Fmaj7  
Weren't you the one
             h7-5
who tried to hurt me with goodbye 
          E 
Think I crumble?
           E7
Think I'd lay down and die?


       a             d
Oh not I, I will survive.
        G                             C
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive.
         Fmaj7
I've got all my life to live.
         h7-5
I've got all my love to give.
             E 
And I'll survive.
           E7             a  d  G  C  Fmaj7  h7-5  E  E7
I will survive. Hey, hey


         a                             d
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
            G                              C
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
           Fmaj7
And I spent oh so many nights
              h7-5 
Just feelin' sorry for myself.
            E
I used to cry.
           E7
But now I hold my head up high. 


            a               d
And you'll see me somebody new.
               G                                C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you.
            Fmaj7
And so you felt like droppin' in
            h7-5 
And just expect me to be free.
             E
And now I'm saving all my lovin'
        E7
For someone who's lovin' me. 


        a                d
Oh now go, walk out the door.
             G                           C
 Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Fmaj7                                        
Weren't you the one
              h7-5
who tried to break me with goodbye 
          E 
Think I crumble?
           E7
Think I'd lay down and die?


       a             d
Oh not I, I will survive.
        G                             C
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive.
         Fmaj7
I've got all my life to live.
         h7-5
I've got all my love to give.
             E 
And I'll survive.
           E7
I will survive.
