[Intro]
Am Dm G C F B E E7
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
G C
I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
F B7
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you'd done me wrong
E E7
I grew strong, I learned how to get along...
Am Dm
And so you're back from outer space
G C
I just walked in to find you here without that look upon your face,
F B7
I should have changed my fuckin' lock, I would've made you leave your key-
E E7
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
G C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
F B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
E E7
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
G C
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
F B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
E E7 Am
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...
[Solo]
(Am) Dm G C F B E E7
Am Dm G C F B E E7
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,
G C
I'm tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
F B7
And I spent oh so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself,
E E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
Am Dm
And you'll see me with somebody new,
G C
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.
F B7
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free,
E E7
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
G C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore.
F B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
E E7
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
G C
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be alive.
F B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
E E7 Am
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...
[Outro]
(Am) Dm G C F B E E7
Am Dm G C F B E E7

nokia5800, You realize this is the Cake version of the song where they actually sing "****ing" not the Gloria Gaynor version of the song, right? The actual lyrics of the Cake version IS "****ing."

thanks for the comments to all...
when I play this song. I play bar chords and i like to mute the strings. I play with and acoustic guitar by my self, I accent the bass notes more and i think it sounds very nice acoustic.
B7 sounds good to when you play all bar chords
