Tom: Am

   Am                       Dm
At first I was afraid I was petrified
              G7
Kept thinkin' I could never live
            C7M
Without you by my side;
           F7M/6
But then I spent so many nights
         Bm7(b5)
Thinkin' how you did me wrong
           E7/4
And I grew strong
              E7
And I learned how to get along
              Am              Dm
And so you're back from outer space
              G7
I just walked in to find you here
              C7M
With that sad look upon your face
              F7M/6
I should have changed that stupid lock
              Bm7(b5)
I should have made you leave your key
          E7/4
If I'd've know for just one second
      E7
You'd back to bother me
           Am              Dm
Go on now, go walk out the door
           G7
Just turn around now
                    C7M               F7M/6
('Cause) you're not welcome anymore

Weren't you the one who tried
   Bm7(b5)
To hurt me with goodbye
                E7/4
Did you think I crumble
                  E7
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am  C  D  Am
Oh no, not I
      C  D  Am    C  D  Am
I will   survive
   Am
It took all the strength
             Dm
I had not to fall apart
             G7
Kept trying' hard to ment
                 C7M
The pieces of my broken heart,
      F7M/6
And I spent oh so many nights
             Bm7(b5)
Just feeling sorry for myself
          E7/4
I used to cry
          E7
But now I hold my head up high
            Am          Dm
And you see me somebody new
             G7
I'm not that chained up little person
         C7M
Still in love with you.
           F7M/6
And so you feel like droppin' in
           Bm7(b5)
and just expect me to be free
        E7/4
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for
    E7
Someone who's lovin' me.
           Am
Go on now, go...
           Am
Oh no, not I
          Dm
I will survive
      G7
Oh as long as I know how to love
  C
I know I'll stay alive;
     F7M/6
I've got all my life to live.
     Bm7(b5)
I've got all my love to give
            E7/4
And I'll survive.
          E7
I will survive.
          Am
I will survive.
