I Will Survive

Gloria Gaynor

 DmGm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
 CF
Kept thinkin' I could never live with-out you by my side
 Bbmaj7Eb
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
 AA7
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along
. . . .
 DmGm
And so you're back, from outer space
 CF
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
 Bbmaj7Eb
I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key
 AA7
If I'd've known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 DmGm
Go on now go, walk out the door
 CF
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
 Bbmaj7Eb
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
 AA7
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
 DmGm
Oh no not I, I will sur-vive
 CF
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
 Bbmaj7Eb
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
 AA7
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, hey hey
 DmGm
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,
 CF
They're tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
 Bbmaj7Eb
And I spent oh so many nights just feelin' sorry for myself
 AA7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
. . . .
 DmGm
And you see me, somebody new
 CF
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
 Bbmaj7Eb
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free
 AA7
Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for some-one who's lovin' me
 DmGm
Go on now go, walk out the door
 CF
Just turn around now, 'cause you're not welcome anymore
 Bbmaj7Eb
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
 AA7
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
 DmGm
Oh no not I, I will sur-vive
 CF
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive
 Bbmaj7Eb
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
 AA7
And I'll sur-vive, I will sur-vive, hey hey
