I Will Survive Lyrics
Gloria Gaynor

Am 
First I was afraid I was
Dm 
petrified
 
Kept thinking
G 
I could never live without you
C 
by my side
 
But I
F 
spent so many nights thinking
B7 
how you did me wrong
 
I grew
E 
strong I learned how to
E7 
carry on
 
and so you're
Am 
back from outer
Dm 
space
 
I just walked
G 
in to find you here with that sad
C 
look upon your face
 
I should have
F 
changed my stupid lock I should have
B7 
made you leave your key
 
If I had
E 
known for just one second you'd be
E7 
back to bother me

 
Go on now go walk out the door
 
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
 
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
 
did you think I'd crumble?
 
did you think I'd lay down and die?
 
Oh no, not I
 
I will survive
 
as long as i know how to love
 
I know I will stay alive
 
I've got all my life to live
 
I've got all my love to give
 
and I'll survive
 
I will survive

 
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
 
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
 
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
 
I used to cry. Now I hold my head up high
 
and you see me whith somebody new
 
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
 
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
 
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

 
Go on now go walk out the door...
