Tuning: Standard
Capo: None

[Intro] Piano
E

[Pre-Verse]
   Am                        Dm7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
              G                  
Kept thinking I could never live 
            Cmaj7
without you by   my side
           F                    
But then I spent so many nights 
         Bm    
Thinking how   you did me wrong
           Esus4
And I grew strong
              E
And I learned how to get along

[Verse 1]
              Am
And so you're back
           Dm7
From outer space
              G              
I just walked in to find you 
                   Cmaj7
Here with that sad look upon your face
                                     
I should have changed that stupid lock, 
              Bm    
I should have made you leave your key
       Esus4                     
If I'd known for just one second 
         E
you'd be back to bother me

[Pre-Chorus 1]
           Am               Dm7
Go on now, go, walk out the door
           G
Just turn around now
                  Cmaj7
'Cause you're not welcome anymore
                            
 Weren't you the one who tried 
   Bm    
to hurt  me with goodbye
                 Esus4
Do you think I'd crumble
                  E
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
 
[Chorus 1]
       Am                 Dm7
Oh no, not, I will survive
                                 
Oh, as long as I know how to love, 
  Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive
         F
I've got all my life to live
             Bm                    
And I've got all my love to give 
            Esus4
and I'll survive 
               E
I will survive, hey, hey

[Verse 2]
Am                             Dm7
It took all my strength not to fall apart
G                                  Cmaj7
Trying' without my mind to mend my broken heart
           F
And I spent so many nights
         Bm                            Esus4
Just feeling   sorry for myself, how I cried
          E
But now I hold my head up high
            Am           Dm7
And you see me, somebody new
             G                    
I'm not that lonely little person 
               Cmaj7
Who's still in love with you
            F
And now you come dropping in
          Bm    
Expecting me to be free
         Esus4                
Now I am saving all my lovin' 
        E
for someone who's loving me

[Pre-Chorus 2]
      Am                Dm7
Go on now, walk out the door
           G
Just turn around now
           Cmaj7
You're not welcome anymore
F                         
 You're the one who tried 
        Bm    
to hurt me with goodbye
                Esus4
Think I'd might crumble
                  E
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
 
[Chorus 2]
        Am               Dm7
No, not I, I will survive
G
Long as I know how to love
  Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive
         F
I've got all my life to live
             Bm                    
And I've got all   my love to give

and I'll survive 
              E (pause)
I will survive
