I will survive

Gloria Gaynor

 
Am (barré à la 5eme) Dm (5eme) G (3eme) C (3eme) F Dm E
 
   Am
At first I was afraid,
      Dm
I was petrified,
     G                                       C
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side,
           F
But then I spent so many nights
                  Dm
Thinking how you did me wrong,
                  E
And I grew strong,
And I learned how to get along.
 
And so you're back,
From outer space,
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face,
Should I have changed that stupid lock,
Should I have made you leave your key,
If I'd've thought for just one second you'd be back to bother me,
 
Oh and now go !
Walk out the door !
Just turn around now, 
'Cause you're not welcome anymore !
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes,
You’d think I crumbled, 
You’d think I laid down and died ? 
Oh no, not I, 
I will survive, 
For oh as long as I know how to love, 
I know I am still alive.
I got all my life to live, 
I got all my love to give,
And I survive, 
I will survive !
 
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart,
Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart,
Now I spent oh so many nights, 
Feeling sorry for myself,
I used to cry, 
But now I hold my head up high.
 
And you see me, 
Somebody new,
I am not that chained up little person still in love with you, 
And now you felt like dropping in 
And expecting me to be free,
Now I am saving all my loving for someone who's loving me.
 
Oh and now go ! 
Walk out the door! 
Just turn around now, 
'cause you're not welcome anymore !
Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbyes,
You think I crumbled, 
You think I laid down and died ?
Oh no, not I, 
I will survive, 
for oh as long as I know how to love,
I know I am still alive,
I got all my life to live, 
I got all my love to give,
And I survive, 
I will survive, 
yeah yeah!
