{Verse One}
A minorAm            DmDm
First I was afraid, I was petrified
       G+G       G7G7        Cmaj7Cmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
   Fmaj7Fmaj7             Bm7(5)
But I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
    EsusEsus  E MajorE EsusEsus         E MajorE
I grew strong, I learned how to carry on
       A minorAm       DmDm
and so you're back from outer space
       G+G       G7G7         Cmaj7Cmaj7
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
       Fmaj7Fmaj7                Bm7(5)
I should have changed my stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
     EsusEsus        E MajorE        EsusEsus      E MajorE
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

{Chorus}
     A minorAm       DmDm
Go on now go walk out the door
     G+G     G7G7         Cmaj7Cmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
        Fmaj7Fmaj7          Bm7(5)
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
       EsusEsus  E MajorE       EsusEsus     E MajorE
you think I'd crumble you think I'd lay down and die

      A minorAm      DmDm
Oh no, not I, I will survive
  G+G       G7G7         Cmaj7Cmaj7
as long as i know how to love I know I will stay alive
     Fmaj7Fmaj7             Bm7(5)
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
      EsusEsus E MajorE     EsusEsus E MajorE
and I'll survive, I will survive

{Verse Two}
    A minorAm              DmDm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
      G+G        G7G7      Cmaj7Cmaj7
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
      Fmaj7Fmaj7             Bm7(5)
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
     EsusEsus E MajorE    EsusEsus      E MajorE
I used to cry,  Now I hold my head up high
      A minorAm     DmDm
and you see me somebody new
       G+G         G7G7       Cmaj7Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
      Fmaj7Fmaj7              Bm7(5)
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
    EsusEsus     E MajorE     EsusEsus         E MajorE
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

{Repeat Chorus}

{Fade}
