() First I was afraid, I was petrified [Verse #1]
Kept thinking I could never live Bbm7 D#m7 G#7 C#M7
without you by my side F#M7 Cm7 Fs4 F
But then I spent so many nights
thinking how you did me wrong
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along
And so you're back from outer space ╔═════════╗
I just walked in to find you here ║ I Will ║
with that sad look upon your face ║ Survive ║
I should have (changed that stupid ║ Gloria ║
lock/made you leave your key) (x2) ║ Gaynor ║
If I had known, for just one second, ╚═════════╝
you'd be back to bother me
[Hook]
Go on, now go, walk out the door
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Weren't ya the one who tried to (hurt) me with goodbye
Did you think I'd (crumble/lay down and die) (x2)
Oh no, not I, I will survive - Oh, as long as I know
how to love, I know I'll stay alive
((But/And) I've got (all my) (life to live/love to
And I'll survive, give) x2)
I will survive, (hey, hey) [Instru]
[Verse #2]
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 [Hook]
but now I hold my head up high (break) (oh)
And you see me, somebody new [Break] X X
I'm not that chained up little person [Hook #2]
still in love with you ((break)) ((…))
And so you felt like dropping in (I will survive)
and just expect me to be free [Instru] (x2)
Now I'm saving all my loving [Verse #1] (At)
for someone who's loving me [Hook #2] (hurt) (…)
[Instru] [Verse #2]
([Hook #2] (hurt/…) (…/so much) [Instru] x2~1)
