[Intro]
 
 Em  Am7/E  B7/E  C/B  D (x2)
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
E                      A/E
 You could never know what it's like
       B                         E
 your blood like winter freezes just like ice
               F#m7/E                   A/E        B
 and there's a cold lonely light that shines from you
          C#m                       A
 you'll wind up like the wreck you hide
             E    F#m/E  E
 behind that mask you____use
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
E                                  A/E
 And did you think this fool could never win
       B                     E
 Well, look at me I'm comin' back again
         F#m7/E              A/E    B
 I got a taste of love in a simple way
            C#m                            A
 and if you need to know while I'm still standing,
          E    F#m/E  E
 you just fade a______way
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                Em7         Em                   Bm7
 Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did
                Am9                          Cmaj7     D
 Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin'like a little kid
 Em7         Em            Bm7
 I'm still standing after all this time
                Am9           Am7             B7
 Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
 B7#9        Em      Am7          B7
 I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah
 B7#9        Em      Am7          B7     C/B  D
 I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah_____
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
E                      A/E
 Once I never could've hope to win
     B                              E
 you starting down the road leaving me again
     F#m7/E                         A/E    B
 The threats you made were meant to cut me down
            C#m               A
 and if our love was just a circus,
              E   F#m/E  E
 you'd be a clown by_____now
 
 
[Chorus]
 
          Em7         Em                   Bm7
 You know I'm still standing better than I ever did
                Am9                          Cmaj7     D
 Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin'like a little kid
 Em7         Em            Bm7
 I'm still standing after all this time
                Am9           Am7             B7
 Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
 B7#9        Em      Am7          B7
 I'm still standing, yeah, yeah, yeah

It sounds a lot deeper and matching if you transpoe +5 and play with capo on first fret, so you got an A instead of an E. Otherwise the chords are right:)
