Chords for I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

Verse 1

At Am7first I was afraid, I was Dm7petrified

Kept thinking G7I could never live without you Cmaj7by my side

But then I Fmaj7spent so many nights thinking Bm7b5how you did me wrong

And I grew Esus4strong

And I learned Ehow to get along

And so you're Am7back

From outer Dm7space

I just walked Gin to find you G7here with that sad Cmaj7look upon your face

I should have Fmaj7changed that stupid lock, I should havBm7b5e made you leave your key

If I'd Esus4known for just one second you'd be Eback to bother me

Chorus

Go on now, Am7go, walk out theDm7 door

Just turn Garound nowG7

'Cause you're not Cmaj7welcome anymore

Fmaj7Weren't you the one who tried to Bm7b5hurt me with goodbye?

You think Esus4I'd crumble?

You think EI'd lay down and die?

Oh no, not Am7I, I will surDm7vive

Oh, as Glong as I know G7how to love, I kCmaj7now I'll stay alive

I've got Fmaj7all my life to live

And I've got Bm7b5all my love to give and I'll surEsus4vive

I will surEvive, hey, hAm7ey

Verse 2

It took Am7all the strength I had not to Dm7fall apart

Kept trying Ghard to mend the G7pieces of my Cmaj7broken heart

And I spent Fmaj7oh-so many nights just feeling Bm7b5sorry for myself

I used to Esus4cry

But now I Ehold my head up high and you see Am7me

Somebody Dmnew

I'm not that Gchained-up little G7person still in Cmaj7love with you

And so you Fmaj7felt like dropping in and just exBm7b5pect me to be free

Well, now I'm Esus4saving all my lovin' for someEone who's loving me

Chorus

Go on now, Am7go, walk out the Dm7door
