Bm7 Em7At first I was afraid, I was petrified
A7 Dmaj7Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
Gmaj7 C#m7b5But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
F#sus4 F#And I grew strong, I learned how to get along
Bm7 Em7And so you're back from outer space
A A7 Dmaj7I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
Gmaj7 C#m7b5I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
F#sus4 F#If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
Bm7 Em7Go on now go, walk out the door
A A7 Dmaj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Gmaj7 C#m7b5Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
F#sus4 F#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die
Bm7 Em7Oh no, not I, I will survive
A A7 Dmaj7As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Gmaj7 C#m7b5I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
F#sus4 F# Bm7And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
Bm7 Em7 A A7 Dmaj7 Gmaj7 C#m7b5 F#sus4 F#
Bm7 Em7It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
A A7 Dmaj7Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
Gmaj7 C#m7b5And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
F#sus4 F#I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
Bm7 Em7And you see me somebody new
A A7 Dmaj7I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
Gmaj7 C#m7b5And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
F#sus4 F#Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
Bm7 Em7Go on now go walk out the door
A A7 Dmaj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Gmaj7 C#m7b5Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
F#sus4 F#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Bm7 Em7Oh no, not I, I will survive
A A7 Dmaj7Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Gmaj7 C#m7b5I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
F#sus4 F#And I'll survive, I will survive, oh .....
Bm7 Em7Go on now go walk out the door
A A7 Dmaj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Gmaj7 C#m7b5Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
F#sus4 F#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Bm7 Em7Oh no, not I, I will survive
A A7 Dmaj7Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Gmaj7 C#m7b5I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
