[Am] First I was afraid I was [Dm] petrified
Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [C] by my side
But then I [F] spent so many nights thinking [Dm] how you did me wrong
And I grew [E] strong and I learned [E7] how to get along
And so you’re back [Am] back from outer [Dm] space
I just walked [G] in to find you here with that sad [C] look upon your face
I should have [F] changed that stupid lock
I should have [Dm] made you leave your key
If I had [E] known for just second you’d be [E7] back to bother me
Go on now [Am] go, walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn [G] around now, cause you’re not [C] welcome anymore
[F] Weren’t you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbyes?
Did you think I’d [E] crumble? Did you think I’d [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no not [Am] I, I will [Dm] survive
For as [G] long as I know how to love I [C] know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got [F] all my life to live, I’ve got [Dm] all my love to give
And I’ll [E] survive, I will [E7] survive—hey hey
[Am] [Dm] [G] [C]
[F] [Dm] [E] [E]
It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart,
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [C] broken heart
And I spent [F] oh so many nights just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself
I used to [E] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high
And you see [Am] me, somebody [Dm] new
I’m not that [G] chained up little person still in [C] love with you
And so you [F] felt like dropping in, and just [Dm] expect me to be free
And now I’m [E] savin’ all my lovin’ for [E7] someone who’s lovin’ me
Go on now [Am] go, walk out the [Dm] door
Just turn [G] around now, cause you’re not [C] welcome anymore
[F] Weren’t you the one who tried to [Dm] hurt me with goodbyes?
Did you think I’d [E] crumble? Did you think I’d [E7] lay down and die?
Oh no not [Am] I, I will [Dm] survive
For as [G] long as I know how to love I [C] know I’ll stay alive
I’ve got [F] all my life to live, I’ve got [Dm] all my love to give
And I’ll [E] survive, I will [E7] survive—hey hey
[Am] [Dm] [G] [C]
[F] [Dm] [E] [Am]
