Am Dm G C E Dm/B F
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
G C
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
F Dm/B
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
E
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
Am
And so you're back
Dm
From outer space
G C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
F Dm/B
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
E
If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go, walk out the door
G
Just turn around now
C
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
F Dm/B
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
E
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G C
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
F
I've got all my life to live
Dm/B E
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
Am
I will survive, hey, hey
[Instrumental]
Am Dm G C F Dm/B E
Am Dm G C F Dm/B E
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
G C
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
F Dm/B
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
E
I used to cry
Am
But now I hold my head up high and you see me
Dm
Somebody new
G C
I'm not that chained-up little person and still in love with you
F Dm/B
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
E
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go, walk out the door
G
Just turn around now
C
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
F Dm/B
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
E
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G C
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
F
I've got all my life to live
Dm/B E
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive, I will survive, Oh
[Chorus]
Am Dm
Go on now, go, walk out the door
G
Just turn around now
C
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
F Dm/B
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
E
Do you think I'd crumble
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Am Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G C
Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
F
I've got all my life to live
Dm/B E
And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive
Am
I will survive
