I Will Survive Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[E]

[Verse 1]
At [Am]first I was afraid, I was [Dm]petrified
Kept thinking [G]I could never live without you
[C]by my side
But then I [F]spent so many nights
thinking [Dm]how you did me wrong
And I grew [E]strong
And I learned how to get along
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 that stupid lock,
I should have [Dm]made you leave your key
If I'd [E]known for just one second
you'd be back to bother me

[Chorus 1]
Go on now, [Am]go, walk out the [Dm]door
Just turn a[G]round now
'Cause you're not [C]welcome anymore
[F]Weren't you the one who tried to
[Dm]hurt me with goodbye?
You think I'd [E]crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am]I, I will survi[Dm]ve
Oh, as [G]long as I know how to love,
I [C]know I'll stay alive
I've got [F]all my life to live
And I've got [Dm]all my love to give and
I'll sur[E]vive

[Interlude 1]
I will survive hey, hey
[Am][Dm][G][C]
[F][Dm][E]

[Verse 2]
It took [Am]all the strength I had not to [Dm]fall apart
Kept trying [G]hard to mend the pieces of my
[C]broken heart
And I spent [F]oh-so many nights just feeling
[Dm]sorry for myself
I used to [E]cry
But now I hold my head up high
and you see [Am]me
Somebody [Dm]new
I'm not that [G]chained-up little person still in
[C]love with you
And so you [F]felt like dropping in and
just ex[Dm]pect me to be free
Well, now I'm [E]saving all my lovin' for
someone who's loving me

[Chorus 2]
Go on now, [Am]go, walk out the [Dm]door
Just turn a[G]round now
'Cause you're not [C]welcome anymore
[F]Weren't you the one who tried to
[Dm]break me with goodbye?
You think I'd [E]crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am]I, I will survi[Dm]ve
Oh, as [G]long as I know how to love,
I [C]know I'll stay alive
I've got [F]all my life to live
And I've got [Dm]all my love to give and
I'll sur[E]vive
I will survive
Oh

[Chorus 3]
Go on now, [Am]go, walk out the [Dm]door
Just turn a[G]round now
'Cause you're not [C]welcome anymore
[F]Weren't you the one who tried to
[Dm]break me with goodbye?
You think I'd [E]crumble?
You think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, not [Am]I, I will survi[Dm]ve
Oh, as [G]long as I know how to love,
I [C]know I'll stay alive
I've got [F]all my life to live
And I've got [Dm]all my love to give and
I'll sur[E]vive
