At [Am]first I was afraid I was [Dm]petrified
Kept thinkin' [G]I could never live without you [CM7]by my side
But then I [FM7]spent so many nights
Thinkin' [Bm7-5]how you did me wrong
And I grew [E7sus]strong
And I learned [E7]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 [CM7]look upon your face
I should have [FM7]changed that stupid lock
I should have [Bm7-5]made you leave your key
If I'd've [E7sus]known for just one second
You'd be [E7]back to bother me

Go on now, [Am]go walk out the [Dm]door
Just turn a[G]round now 'cause you're not [CM7]welcome anymore
Weren't you the [FM7]one
Who tried to [Bm7-5]hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7sus]crumble
Did you think I'd [E7]lay down and die?

Oh no, not [Am]I. I will sur[Dm]vive
Oh as long as I know [G]how to love I [CM7]know I'll stay alive
I've got [FM7]all my life to live
I've got [Bm7-5]all my love to give
And I'll sur[E7sus]vive
I will sur[E7]vive

Hey [Am]hey

It took [Am]all the strength I had not to [Dm]fall apart
Kept trying' [G]hard to mend the pieces of my [CM7]broken heart
And I spent [FM7]oh so many nights
Just feeling [Bm7-5]sorry for myself
I used to [E7sus]cry
But now I [E7]hold my head up high

And you see [Am]me somebody [Dm]new
I'm not that [G]chained up little person still in [CM7]love with you,
And so you [FM7]feel like droppin' in
And just ex[Bm7-5]pect me to be free,
Now I'm [E7sus]savin' all my lovin'
For some[E7]one who's lovin' me

Go on now, [Am]go walk out the [Dm]door
Just turn a[G]round now 'cause you're not [CM7]welcome anymore
Weren't you the [FM7]one
Who tried to [Bm7-5]hurt me with goodbye
Did I [E7sus]crumble
Did you think I'd [E7]lay down and die?

Oh no, not I. I will survive
Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give and I'll survive
I will survive

Hey [Am]hey
