I Will Survive chords by Hermes House Band

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse :
   Am                        Dm
At first I was afraid
I was petrified
              G                              C
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
            F                             Bm7
But then I spent so many nights thinkin' how you did me wrong
        E
and I grew strong, and I learned how to get along




            Am                Dm
And so your back, from outer space
              G                                 C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
            F
I should've changed that stupid lock
            Bm7
I should've made you leave your key
         E
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

Chorus:
          Am               Dm
Go on now go, walk out the door
          G                            C
Just turn around now, cause you're not welcome anymore
F                                Bm7
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
              E
Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die
          Am            Dm
Oh no not I
I will survive
       G                            C
For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         F                             Bm7
I've got all my life to live; I've got all my love to give
            E
And I'll survive
I will survive



Verse :
        Am                            Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
           G                             C
And trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
            F                              Bm7
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
           E
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high
               Am           Dm
And you'll see me, somebody new
             G                                 C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
           F                               Bm7
And so you felt like droppin' in and just expect me to be free
         E
Now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

Chorus:
       Am               Dm
Go now go, walk out the door
          G                          C
Just turn around now, cause your not welcome anymore
F                                Bm7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
              E
Did ya think I'd crumble, did ya think I'd lay down and die

          Am           Dm
Oh no not I
I will survive
       G                              C
For as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         F                             Bm7
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
             E
And I'll survive
I will survive

Yeah yeah
Am          Dm                G           C              F        Bm7
La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La
   E

Hey Hey Hey Hey (repeat)
