I Will Survive
By Gloria Gayner


[intro]

E7b9


[verse 1]

Am Dm
At First I Was Afraid, I Was Petrified,
G Cmaj7
Kept Thinking I Could Never Live Without You By My Side.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
But Then I Spent So Many Nights, Thinking How You Did Me Wrong,
Esus4 E
And I Grew Strong; And I Learned How To Get Along.

Am Dm
And So You're Back, From Outer Space,
G Cmaj7
I Just Walked In To Find You Here, With That Sad Look Upon Your Face.
Fmaj7
I Should Have Changed That Stupid Lock,
Bm7b5
I Should Have Made You Leave Your Key,
Esus4 E
If I Had Known For Just One Second, You'd Be Back To Bother Me.


[chorus]

Am Dm
Go On Now, Go; Walk Out The Door;
G Cmaj7
Just Turn Around Now, 'cos You're Not Welcome Any More.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
Weren't You The One Who Tried To Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Esus4 E
Did You Think I'd Crumble; Did You Think I'd Lay Down And Die?
Am Dm
Oh No, Not I; I Will Survive,
G Cmaj7
Oh, As Long As I Know How To Love, I Know I'll Stay Alive.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
I've Got All My Life To Live, I've Got All My Love To Give,
Esus4 E Am
And I'll Survive, I Will Survive, Hey Hey

[verse 2]

Am Dm
It Took All The Strength I Had Not To Fall Apart.
G Cmaj7
Kept Trying Hard To Mend The Pieces Of My Broken Heart.
Fmaj7 Bm7b5
And I Spent Oh, So Many Nights, Just Feeling Sorry For Myself,
Esus4
