I will survive – Gloria Gaynor

Mi

   Lam                       Rem
At first I was afraid I was petrified  
              Sol                            Do7+
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side.
           Fa7+                          Sim7
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong  
           Mi                  Mi7
And I grew strong and I learned how to get along.

              Lam               Rem
But now you're back  from outer space  
              Sol                                   
I just walked in to find you here  
              Do7+
with that sad look upon your face.
              Fa7+
I should have changed that stupid lock  
              Sim7
I should have made you leave your key  
        Mi                              Mi7
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.

           Lam               Rem
Go on now go walk out the door 
            Sol                          Do7+
Just turn a-round now 'cos you're not welcome any more.
Fa7+                             Sim7
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                  Mi                      Mi7
Did you think I'd crumble  did you think I'd lay down and die?
         Lam          Rem
Oh no not I  I will survive  
       Sol                            Do7+
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive.
         Fa7+                           Sim7
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give  
             Mi          Mi7            Lam
And I'll survive I will survive I will survive

Rem Sol Do7+ Fa7+ Sim7 Mi Mi7

         Lam                                 Rem
Only the Lord could give me strength not to fall apart  
               Sol                             Do7+
Though I tried hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
            Fa7+                            Sim7
And I spent oh   so many nights   just feeling sorry for myself  
          Mi          Mi7
I used to cry   but now I hold my head up high.
            Lam           Rem
And you see me  somebody new  
             Sol                                 Do7+
I'm not that chained up little person   still in love with you.
           Fa7+                             Sim7
And so you felt like dropping in and just ex-pect me to be free  
              Mi                         Mi7
Well   now I'm saving all my loving for some-one who's loving me.
