[Intro]
Am                        Dm
First I was afraid, I was petrified
              G7/G                           C
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
      Am                            Dm
But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
       E                 E7
I grew strong, I learned how to get along
 
[Verse]
              Am              Dm
And so you're back from outer space
              G7/G                              C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
              Am                                   Dm
I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
         E                                  E7
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
          G7/G                         C
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
        Am                       Dm
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
                  E                          E7
did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
 
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   G7/G                         C
as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive
         Am                            Dm
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
         E               E7
and I'll survive, I will survive
 
[Instrumental]
 Am    Dm    G7/G    C    Am    Dm    E    E7  x2
 
[Verse]
        Am                            Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
            G7/G                          C
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
            Am                             Dm
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
           E           E7
I used to cry,   Now I hold my head up high
            Am          Dm
and you see me somebody new
             G7/G                              C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
            Am                              Dm
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
           E                         E7
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
 
[Chorus]
          Am              Dm
Go on now go walk out the door
          G7/G                         C
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
        Am                       Dm
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
                  E                          E7
did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
 
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   G7/G                         C
as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive
         Am                            Dm
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
         E               E7
and I'll survive, I will survive
