Gloria Gaynor - I Will Survive (Live 1979) chords
Start Jamming...
[E] [Am] First I was afraid, [Dm] I [D] was petrified
Kept [G] thinking I could never live without [C] you by my side
But [F] then I spent so many nights [B] thinking how you did me wrong
And [A#]
[Bm]
I grew [Dm] strong, and I [E] learned how to get along
[C] [Dm] I'm gonna say, I [G] just walked in to find you here
And with [C] that sad look upon your face
I [F] should have changed that stupid lock
I [D] should have made you leave your key
If [A] I'd have known for just [E] one second
You'd be back to bother me
Go on [Am] now, walk [Dm] out the door
Just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore
[F] Once you're the one who [B] tried to hurt me
Well, goodbye, you think I'd [A] crumble
You think [E] I'd lay down and die
No, [Am] no, no, no, I will [Dm] survive
Oh, [G] as long as I know how to love, [C] I know I'll survive
[F] I've got all my life to live
And [Dm] I've got all my love to give
And [A] I'll survive, [E] I will survive
Yeah, [C] yeah
[F] It
[G] [C]
[F] [B]
[E]
[Am] took all the strength I had
[Dm]
Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of [C] my broken heart
And I [F] spent oh so many nights
Just feeling [Dm] sorry for myself, I used to [E] cry
But now I hold my head [C] up high
Cause somebody [Dm] knew
I'm not that kind of new [G] person
Couldn't love with you
And [F] so you feel like dropping in
And just [B] expect me to be free
But now [Am] I'm saving [E] all my loving
For someone who's gonna need me
Go on [C] now, walk out [Dm] the door
Just turn [G] around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore
[F] Once you're the one [Dm] who tried to break me
Well, goodbye, you think [A] I'd crumble
[E] You think I'd lay down and [C] die
I will [Dm] survive, oh, [G] as long as I know how to love
I know I'll survive
I've [F] got all my life to live
And I've [B] got all my love to give
And I'll [Am] survive, I will [E] survive
Go [Am] on now, walk [Dm] out the door
Just [G] turn around now
Cause [C] you're not welcome anymore
[F] Once you're the one who [B] tried to break me
Well, goodbye, you [A] think I'd crumble
[D] You [E] think I'd lay down and die
[Am] I [D] will survive, [G] oh, as long as I know how to [C] love
I know [F] I've got all my life to live
[Dm] And I've got all my love to give
[A] And I'll survive, [E] I will survive
[C] [Am] [F]
[B] [C]
[F] [Dm]
[A] [D] [G#m]
[C#m] [Am] You took off with the hair
[F]
Kept [G] trying hard to mend the pieces of [C] my broken heart
And I've [F] been oh so many nights
Just [Dm] feeling sorry for myself
I used [E] to cry
But now I hold my head up [Am] high
[Dm] Somebody knew
I'm [G] not that chain of blues
But [C] I'm still in love with you
And so [F] you felt like coming [C] in
And [Dm] just to put me in your groove
Now I'm saying all [E] my love is for the one who's loving me
Go [Am] on now, walk [Dm] out the door
Just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore
[Am] Once you're the one who [Dm] tried to break me
Well, goodbye, you think I'd [E] crumble
You think I'd lay down and die
[Am] I [Dm] will survive, [G] oh, [C] as long as I know how [F] to love
I know I've got all my life to live
[Dm] And I've got all my love to give
[E] And I'll survive, I will
