Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
At [Am]first I was afraid,
I was [Dm]petrified
[Am]I 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're [E]back to bother me
Go [Am]on now, go

[Verse 3]
Walk out [Dm]the door
[Am]And 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 got [F]all my life [Am]to live
I got [Dm]all my love to give and I'll survive
[E]I will survive
[Bdim]It took

[Verse 5]
[Am]all the strength
I had not [Dm]to fall apart
I kept [F]trying [G]hard to mend
the pieces [C]of my broken heart
I spent [F]oh-so many 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 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
[Dm]Now I'm [E]saving all my lovin'

[Interlude 1]
For someone who's loving me

[A][G#][C#m][F#m][A]
[Ebdim][E][D][G][A][Ebdim]
[G#sus4][G#]
Go [Am]on now, go

[Verse 7]
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
to hurt [Bm]me with goodbye?
[E]Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?
Oh no, [Dm]not

[Verse 8]
[Am]I
[C]I w[Dm]ill survive
[Am]Oh, [G]as long as I know how to love
[C]I know I'll stay [Em]alive
[Am]I got all [F]my life to live
I got [Bdim]all my l[Bm]ove to give
and [Am]I'll survive
[Bsus4]I will su[Bm]rvive[E]
