I Will Survive
Gloria Gaynor
Key: Am

Verse 1:
   Am                         Dm
At first, I was afraid, I was petrified
              G                              Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
           Fmaj7                         Bm7b5
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
           Esus4                 E
And I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

Verse 2:
(full band)
              Am              Dm
And so you're back from outer space
              G                                 Cmaj7
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
              Fmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock
              Bm7b5
I should have made you leave your key
            Esus4                              E
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Chorus 1:
           Am
Go on now, go
             Dm
Walk out the door
           G                           Cmaj7
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Fmaj7                            Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                  Esus4
Did you think I'd crumble?
                  E
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

            Am
Oh, no, not I
          Dm
I will survive
       G                            Cmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         Fmaj7
I've got all my life to live
         Bm7b5
I've got all my love to give
            Esus4
And I'll survive
          E
I will survive, hey, hey

Verse 3:
        Am                            Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
     G                                    Cmaj7
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
             Fmaj7                           Bm7b5
And I spent, oh, so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
          Esus4          E
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

Verse 4:
        Am              Dm
And you see me somebody new
             G                        Cmaj7
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
           Fmaj7
And so you felt like dropping in
           Bm7b5
And just expect me to be free
            Esus4                        E
And now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

Chorus 2:
           Am
Go on now, go
             Dm
Walk out the door
          G                            Cmaj7
Just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Fmaj7                            Bm7b5
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
                  Esus4
Did you think I'd crumble?
                  E
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

            Am
Oh, no, not I
          Dm
I will survive
       G                            Cmaj7
Oh, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         Fmaj7
I've got all my life to live
         Bm7b5
I've got all my love to give
            Esus4
And I'll survive
          E
I will survive
