[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
As I gaze around at [D]the pictures
hanging on my wall
I don't know,
I can't help but reminisce
I think about 'em all,
'cause we all started together
I'm talkin' about friends of mine
People like Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix
Otis Redding, Marvin [G]Gaye,
[D]Jackie Wilson, and Sam Cooke
Just to name a few

[Verse 2]
Sometimes [Em]I'm rolling[G]
[Em]Sometimes I'm stan[D]ding still
Sometimes I'm just [G]having a ball
[Em]Feeling moody isn't [D]worth it all

[Verse 3]
They know I'm [G]de pendable
[Em]Make the rounds and [D]take the blows
'Cause I'm the only survivor
left still standing here
[G]Sometimes

[Verse 4]
[D]I feel like I'm a lon[Bm]g
[D]ways from [G]home[D][Em]
And [D]the light for me [Bm]from yester
[D]day [G]is [Em]gone
And [D]my army has [Bm]marched
[D]across [G]the [Em]hill
And left [D]me behind to [Bm]fight
the [D]dream [G]we [Em]live

[Verse 5]
And [G]my heart can't [Em]take it
And my [G]feet don't wanna [Em]make it
But I'm the [Asus4]only survivor
left [D]still standing here
[Em]I can see

[Verse 6]
[D]that old house [Bm]standing
along[A]side the [G]road[Em]
Where [D]papa laid [Bm]his plan
and he [A]let [G]us [Em]go
And [D]the grass is high and I [Bm]gotta
[A]chop [G]it down[D][Em]
'Cause I'm the [D]only hope for
my [Bm]heirs [D]to [G]be found[D][Em]

[Verse 7]
And [G]my heart can't [Em]take it
And my [G]feet don't wanna make [Em]it
I'm the [A]only survivor [Asus4]left
still standing [D]here
[Em]Mmm, some

[Verse 8]
[G]times I'm rolling
[Em]Sometimes I'm [D]standing still
Sometimes I'm just [G]having a ball
[Em]Feeling moody isn't [D]worth it all
[Em]They know I'm de

[Verse 9]
[G]pendable
[Em]Make the rounds and I [D]take the blows
'Cause I'm the only survivor
[Asus4]left still standing here[D]
[Bm]Look like my heart

[Verse 10]
[G]can't tak[Em]e it
And my [G]feet don't wanna make [Em]it
But I'm the [Asus4]only survivor
left still [D]standing here
[G]As I gaze

[Verse 11]
[D]around at the pictur[Bm]es
Hanging [D]on [G]my wall[Em]
They come [D]to life and my
[Bm]history [A]is in [G]it all[D][Em]
People say [D]he's a living le
[Bm]gend [A]in [G]his time[D][Em]
But I'm just a [D]soldier who [Bm]sur vived
On [D]the roy[G]al [D]line[Em]

[Verse 12]
Look like [G]my heart can't [Em]take it
And my [G]feet don't wanna make [Em]it
I'm the [Asus4]only survivor left still standing here[D]
[G][Em]

[Interlude 1]
[D][G][Em]
[D][G][Em][D][Asus4][D]

[Verse 13]
Look like [G]my, [Em]look[G] lik[Em]e my[Asus4],[D]
look like my [G]heart can't [Em]take it
And my [G]feet don't wanna make [Em]it
But I'm the [D]only sur[Asus4]vivor left still
[D]standing [G]her[Em]e[G][Em]
