Tuning:standard
This is the very first tablature I've submitted, so keep in mind that it's far
from perfect. This is the whole song and it's the way I use to play it.
(It's possible to play the "intro" part through whole song, it's also possible to
mix between the tabs and chords while playing.) Enjoy!
Am Dm

INTRO:
First I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
I grew strong, I learned how to carry on
and so you're...
(Beginners Rythm: Down,Down,Up,Up,Down,Up)
Am Dm(2)
...back from outer space
G C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
F Dm
I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
E E E E
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
{Chorus}
Am Dm(2)
Go on now go walk out the door
G C
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
F Dm
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
E E E
you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die
Am Dm(2)
Oh no, not I, I will survive
G C
as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive
F Dm
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
E E
and I'll survive, I will survive
{Verse Two}
Am Dm(2)
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
G C
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
F Dm
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
E E
I used to cry, Now I hold my head up high
Am Dm(2)
and you see me somebody new
G C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
F Dm
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
E E
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
{Repeat Chorus}
{Fade}
