1. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor (1978)
Am Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified.
G C
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Am Dm
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
E
And I grew strong
E7
And I learned how to get along

2. Am Dm
And so you're back from outer space
G C
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon
your face
Am
I should have changed that stupid lock
Dm
I should have made you leave your key
E E7
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother
me

3. Am Dm
Go on now, go walk out the door
G
Just turn around now
C
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Am Dm
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
E
Did you think I'd crumble?
E7
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

4. 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
Am
I've got all my life to live
Dm
And I've got all my love to give
E
I'll survive
E7
I will survive
Hey hey (Am Dm G C Am Dm E E7)

5. Am Dm
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
G C
Just trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
Am Dm
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
E E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

6. Am Dm
And you see me, somebody new
G C
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
Am Dm
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be
free
E E7
But now I'm savin' all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me

7. Am Dm
Go on now, go walk out the door
G
Just turn around now
C
'Coz you're not welcome anymore
Am Dm
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
E
Did you think I'd crumble?
E7
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

8. 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
Am
I've got all my life to live
Dm
And I've got all my love to give
E
I'll survive
E7
I will survive
Hey hey (Am)
