I Will Survive(Chords)

	        
Intro: E 

   Am 
At first I was afraid 
      Dm 
I was petrified 
                G 
I kept thinking I could never live 
             C 
Without you by my side 
            F 
But then I spent so many nights 
              Bº 
Just thinking how you did me wrong 
          E4 
I grew stronger 
          E7 
I learned how to get along. 

               Am 
And so you're back 
            Dm 
from outer space. 
              G 
I just walked in to find you here. 
              C 
With that sad look upon your face. 
               F 
I should have change that stupid lock 
               Bº 
I should have made you leave your key 
      E4 
If I had known for just one second 
          E7 
You'd be back to bother me. 

       Am 
Oh now go 
               Dm 
Walk out the door. 
            G 
Just turn around now. 
            C 
You're not welcome anymore. 
F                                Bº 
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? 
          E4 
Did you think I'd crumble? 
          E7 
Did you think I'd lay down and die? 

       Am 
Oh not I. 
           Dm 
I will survive. 
       G 
Oh, as long as I know How to love 
    C 
I know I'll stay alive. 
          F 
I've got all my life to live. 
           Bº 
I've got all my love to give. 
            E4 
I will survive 
            E7 
I will survive

        Am 
It took all the strength I had 
             Dm 
Just not to fall apart. 
            G 
I'm trying hard to mend. 
                 C 
The pieces of my broken  heart. 
      F 
And I spent oh so many nights 
             Bº 
Just felling sorry for myself. 
           E4 
I used to cry. 
           E7 
But now I hold my head up high. 

               Am 
And you'll see me 
               Dm 
With somebody new. 
               G 
I'm not that stupid little person 
          C 
Still in love with you.. 
           F

            Bº 
And you expect me to be free. 
              E4
