D#m7 G#m7At first I was afraid, I was petrified
C#7 F#maj7Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
Bmaj7 Fm7b5But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
A#sus4 A#And I grew strong, I learned how to get along
D#m7 G#m7And so you're back from outer space
C# C#7 F#maj7I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
Bmaj7 Fm7b5I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
A#sus4 A#If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
D#m7 G#m7Go on now go, walk out the door
C# C#7 F#maj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Bmaj7 Fm7b5Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
A#sus4 A#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die
D#m7 G#m7Oh no, not I, I will survive
C# C#7 F#maj7As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Bmaj7 Fm7b5I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
A#sus4 A# D#m7And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
D#m7 G#m7 C# C#7 F#maj7 Bmaj7 Fm7b5 A#sus4 A#
D#m7 G#m7It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
C# C#7 F#maj7Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
Bmaj7 Fm7b5And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
A#sus4 A#I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
D#m7 G#m7And you see me somebody new
C# C#7 F#maj7I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
Bmaj7 Fm7b5And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
A#sus4 A#Now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
D#m7 G#m7Go on now go walk out the door
C# C#7 F#maj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Bmaj7 Fm7b5Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
A#sus4 A#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
D#m7 G#m7Oh no, not I, I will survive
C# C#7 F#maj7Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
Bmaj7 Fm7b5I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
A#sus4 A#And I'll survive, I will survive, oh .....
D#m7 G#m7Go on now go walk out the door
C# C#7 F#maj7Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Bmaj7 Fm7b5Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
A#sus4 A#Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
D#m7 G#m7Oh no, not I, I will survive
C# C#7 F#maj7Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
