| Dm | Gm | |
| At | first I was afraid, I was | petrified |
| C | F | |
| Kept thinkin' | I could never live with- | out you by my side |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| But then I | spent so many nights thinking | how you did me wrong |
| A | A7 | |
| And I grew | strong, and I learned | how to get along |
| . . . . |
| Dm | Gm | |
| And so you're | back, from outer | space |
| C | F | |
| I just | walked in to find you here with that | sad look upon your face |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| I should have | changed that stupid lock, I should have | made you leave your key |
| A | A7 | |
| If I'd've | known for just one second you'd be | back to bother me |
| Dm | Gm | |
| Go on now | go, walk out the | door |
| C | F | |
| Just | turn around now, 'cause you're not | welcome anymore |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| Weren't you the | one who tried to | hurt me with goodbye |
| A | A7 | |
| Did you think I'd | crumble, did you think I'd | lay down and die |
| Dm | Gm | |
| Oh no not | I, I will sur- | vive |
| C | F | |
| For as | long as I know how to love, I | know I'll stay alive |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| I've got | all my life to live and I've got | all my love to give |
| A | A7 | |
| And I'll sur- | vive, I will sur- | vive, hey hey |
| Dm | Gm | |
| It took | all the strength I had just not to | fall apart, |
| C | F | |
| They're | tryin' hard to mend the pieces | of my broken heart |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| And I spent | oh so many nights just feelin' | sorry for myself |
| A | A7 | |
| I used to | cry, but now I | hold my head up high |
| . . . . |
| Dm | Gm | |
| And you see | me, somebody | new |
| C | F | |
| I'm not that | chained up little person | still in love with you |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| And so you | felt like dropping in and just ex- | pect me to be free |
| A | A7 | |
| Well, now I'm | saving all my lovin' for some- | one who's lovin' me |
| Dm | Gm | |
| Go on now | go, walk out the | door |
| C | F | |
| Just | turn around now, 'cause you're not | welcome anymore |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| Weren't you the | one who tried to | hurt me with goodbye |
| A | A7 | |
| Did you think I'd | crumble, did you think I'd | lay down and die |
| Dm | Gm | |
| Oh no not | I, I will sur- | vive |
| C | F | |
| For as | long as I know how to love, I | know I'll stay alive |
| Bbmaj7 | Eb | |
| I've got | all my life to live and I've got | all my love to give |
| A | A7 | |
| And I'll sur- | vive, I will sur- | vive, hey hey |
