I Will Survive Chords by Gloria Gaynor

[E] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Am] At first I was afraid, [Dm] I was petrified
Kept [G] thinking I could never live [C] without you by my side
But [F] then I spent so many nights [B] thinking [G] how you did me wrong
And I [A] grew strong, and I [E] learned how to get along
_ [Am] _ _ _ _
[Dm] I walked _ [G] in to find you here with that [C] sad look upon your face
I should [F] have changed that stupid lock, I [Bm] should have made you leave your key
If I'd have [E] known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
[Am] _ _ Walk [Dm] out the door, just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not something anymore
[F] Weren't you the one who [Bm] tried to hurt me with goodbye?
Did you think [A] I'd crumble?
Did you think [E] I'd lay down and [Ab] die?
[Am] _ _ I [Dm] will survive, oh [G] 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 [A] I'll survive, [E] I will survive, I [Am] will survive _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[E] _ _ Oh, [Am] dear Lord, forgive [C] me, shrimp, [Dm] not 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 just [Bm] feeling sorry for myself
I used [A] to cry, but now I hold [E] my head up high
And [Am] you see me, _ [Dm] somebody new
I'm [G] not that chained up little person [C] still in love with you
And so [F] you felt like stopping in and [Bm] just accepting me free
Well, now I'm saving all my [A] loving for [E] someone who's loving me
Go on [Am] and now, go, walk [Dm] out the door, just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore
[F] Weren't you the one who [B] tried to crush me with goodbye?
[Bm] Did you think [E] I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh, [Am] no, not I, _
[Dm] _ _ and [G] 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 [A] I'll survive, [Bm] _ _
[E] I, I, I will [Am] survive
_ Go _ _ _ _ _ _ on _ _ _ and now, go, _ [Dm] walk out the door, just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore

Did you [E] think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
No, [Am] no, not I, I [Dm] will survive
And [G] 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 [A] I'll survive, _ [E] I will survive, I [Am] will survive _ _
[Dm] _ _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
[C] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[B] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _ _
_ _ Oh, [Am] dear Lord, _ _ _
[Dm] _ _ though [G] I've found the pieces of [C] my broken heart
And I've [F] been on so many nights just [Bm] feeling sorry for myself
I used [E] to cry, but now I hold my head up, [Am] see me
So, [C] _ [Dm] _ I'm [G] not that _ _ _
[Am] _ _ fool [F] you felt like [Bm] dropping in and suspecting me to be free
Well, [E] now I'm saving all my love for someone who loves me more
[Am] _ _ Oh, [Dm] now, _ just [G] turn around now
Cause you're [C] not welcome anymore
[F] Weren't you the one who [Bm] tried to crush me with goodbye?
Did you [A] think I'd crumble?
Did you think [E] I'd lay down _ _ [Am] _ and die?
I [Dm] will survive, and [G] as long as I know how to love [C] I _ _ [F] know I'll stay alive
