I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor
At [Dm]first I was afraid, I was [Gm]petrified
Kept thinkin' [C]I could never live with-[F]out you by my side
But then I [Bbmaj7]spent so many nights thinking [Eb]how you did me wrong
And I grew [A]strong, and I learned [A7]how to get along
. . . .
And so you're [Dm]back, from outer [Gm]space
I just [C]walked in to find you here with that [F]sad look upon your face
I should have [Bbmaj7]changed that stupid lock, I should have [Eb]made you leave your key
If I'd've [A]known for just one second you'd be [A7]back to bother me
Go on now [Dm]go, walk out the [Gm]door
Just [C]turn around now, 'cause you're not [F]welcome anymore
Weren't you the [Bbmaj7]one who tried to [Eb]hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd [A]crumble, did you think I'd [A7]lay down and die
Oh no not [Dm]I, I will sur-[Gm]vive
For as [C]long as I know how to love, I [F]know I'll stay alive
I've got [Bbmaj7]all my life to live and I've got [Eb]all my love to give
And I'll sur-[A]vive, I will sur-[A7]vive, hey hey
It took [Dm]all the strength I had just not to [Gm]fall apart,
They're [C]tryin' hard to mend the pieces [F]of my broken heart
And I spent [Bbmaj7]oh so many nights just feelin' [Eb]sorry for myself
I used to [A]cry, but now I [A7]hold my head up high
. . . .
And you see [Dm]me, somebody [Gm]new
I'm not that [C]chained up little person [F]still in love with you
And so you [Bbmaj7]felt like dropping in and just ex-[Eb]pect me to be free
Well, now I'm [A]saving all my lovin' for some-[A7]one who's lovin' me
Go on now [Dm]go, walk out the [Gm]door
Just [C]turn around now, 'cause you're not [F]welcome anymore
Weren't you the [Bbmaj7]one who tried to [Eb]hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd [A]crumble, did you think I'd [A7]lay down and die
Oh no not [Dm]I, I will sur-[Gm]vive
For as [C]long as I know how to love, I [F]know I'll stay alive
I've got [Bbmaj7]all my life to live and I've got [Eb]all my love to give
And I'll sur-[A]vive, I will sur-[A7]vive, hey hey
