[E]
[Am] At first I was afraid, I [Dm] was petrified, kept [G] thinking I could never live without [C] you by my side.
But then [F] I spent so many nights [B] thinking how you did me [G] wrong, and I grew [E] strong, and I learned how to get along.
But now [Am] you're back to [Dm] me.
I just [G] walked in to find you here with that [C] sad look upon your face.
I should have [F] changed that stupid lock, I should [Bm] have made you leave your key.
If [E] I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.
But [Am] now I'm locked out [Dm] the door, just [G] turnin' out now, cause you're [C] not welcome anymore.
[F] Weren't you the one who tried [Bm] to hurt me?
Didn't you [E] try to crumble?
Didn't you try to lay down and die?
[Am]
[Dm] Oh, [G] but as long as I know how to love, [C] I know I'll stay alive.
[F] I've got all my life to live, and [Bm] I've got all my love to give, and [E] I'll survive.
I will survive.
I will [A] survive.

[Dm] [G]
[C] [F]
[B] [E]
Oh, [Am] leave a love to give me strength not [Dm] to fall apart.
Though I [G] try hard to mend the pieces of [C] my broken heart, and I've [F] spent oh so many nights
[Bm] sorry for myself I used [E] to cry.
But now I hold my head up high and [Am] you see me, [Dm] somebody new.
I'm [G] not that changed up, you know, person still [C] in love with you.
And so [F] you felt like stopping in and [Bm] just to set me free.
Well [E] now I'm staying on my level for someone who's loving me, darling [Am] now.
Oh, [Dm] lock the door, just [G] turnin' out now, cause you're [C] not welcome anymore.
[F] Weren't you the one who [B] tried to crush me?
