[Intro 1]
[Am][Dm][Gsus4][F][C]
[Am][Dm][G][C]

[Verse 1]
At [Am]first I was afraid,
I was [Dm]petrified
[Am]Kept think[F]ing I could never
live [Em]without you by my side
[C]But the[G]n I s[F]pent so many nights
thinking [Bdim]how you did me wrong
And I grew [Esus4]strong[Dm][Esus4]
And I learned [E]how to get along

[Verse 2]
And so you're [Am]back
From outer [Dm]space
[Am]I just [F]walked in to find you here
With [Dm]that sad [C]look upon your face
I should [F]have changed that stupid lock
[Am]I should [Dm]have made you leave your [Bdim]key
[Dm]If I'd known[Esus4] for just one second
You'd be [E]back to bother me
Go [Am]on now, go

[Verse 3]
Walk out [Dm]the door
[Am]Just turn arou[F]nd now
[G]'Cause you're not wel[C]come
[Em]anymore[G]
[F]Weren't you the one [Am]who tried
to hurt [Bdim]me with goodbye?
[G]Did[Dm] you [E]think I'd crumbl[Esus4]e?
Did you [E]think I'd lay down and die?

[Verse 4]
Oh no, not [Am]I
I will sur[Dm]vive
[Am]Oh, as long as I[C] know [G]how to love,
[C]I know I'll stay alive
I've got [F]all my life [Am]to live
And I've got [Dm]all my love
to give and I'll survive
[E]I will survive, hey[Bdim], hey

[Verse 5]
Only the Lord [Am]could give me strength
not [Dm]to fall apart
Though I [F]tried [G]hard to mend
the pieces [C]of my broken heart
And I spent [F]oh- so many nights
just feeling [Bdim]sorry for myself
I [Dm]used to [E]cry
[Esus4]But now I hol[E]d my head up high
And [Am]you see me,

[Verse 6]
somebody [Dm]new
I'm not that [G]chained- up little
person still in love [C]with you
And so [F]you felt [Am]like dropping in
And [Em]just expect [Bm]me to be free
Well, [Dm]now I'm [E]saving all my lovin'

[Verse 7]
For someone who's loving me
[C#m]Go on now, go
Walk out the door
Just turn around now
[F#m]'Cause you're not welcome
anymore
Weren't you the one [A]who tried
to crush me with goodbye?
Did you think I'd crumble?
[E]Did you think I'd lay down and die?

[Verse 8]
[A]Oh no, not I
I will survive
And as long as I know how to love
I know I'll [Ebdim]stay alive
I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give
[G#sus4]and I'll survive[A][G#]
I will survive
Oh Go on now, go

[Verse 9]
[C#m]Walk
out the door
Just turn around now
[F#m]'Cause you're not[A]
welcome anymore
Weren't you the one who tried to
crush me with [Ebdim]good bye?
Do you think [E]I'd crumble?
[D]Did you think I'd lay [G]down and die?

[Verse 10]
[A]No no, not I
I will survive
And as long as I know how
[Ebdim]to love
I know I'll stay alive
I've got all my life to [G#sus4]live
And I've got all my love [G#]to give and
I will survive
I will survive
Go [Am]on now, go

[Verse 11]
Walk out [Dm]the door
Just [Am]turn [G]around now
'Cause [Dm]you're not [C]welcome anymore
[Em]Were[F]n't you the one who trie[Am]d
[Bm]to crush me with goodbye?
[E]Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, [Dm]not

An[Am]d as[G] long as I know how to love
