I Will Survive Gloria Gaynor capo 1 Am Dm At first I was afraid I was petrified G C I was thinking I could never live without you by my side Fmaj7 Bm7b5 (alt: Dm7) But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you did 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 with that look upon your face Fmaj7 Bm7b5 I should have changed my stupid lock, I would have made you leave your key E E7 If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me | Am Dm | |Oh now go, walk out the door | | G C | |Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore | |Fmaj7 Bm7b5 | |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 not I, I will survive | | G C | |As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive | | Fmaj7 Bm7b5 | |I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give | | E E7 | |I will survive, I will survive | Am Dm It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart G C I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart Fmaj7 Bm7b5 And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself E E7 I used to cry but now I hold my head up high Am Dm And so you see I'm someone new G C I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you Fmaj7 Bm7b5 And so you felt like dropping in, and you expect me to be free E E7 But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me Repeat | | section Break to end on Am
