Gloria Gaynor – I Will Survive Chord

E7b9
 
   Am                        Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified,
              G             
Kept thinking I could never 
                 Cmaj7
live without you by my side 
           Fmaj7                 
But then I spent so many nights, 
         Bm7b5
thinking how you did me wrong,
           Esus4       
And I grew strong; and 
          E
I learned how to get along 
 
              Am               Dm
And so you're back, from outer space,
              G                    
I just walked in to find you here, 
              Cmaj7
with that sad look upon your face 
              Fmaj7
I should have changed that stupid lock,
              Bm7b5
I should have made you leave your key,
         Esus4                      
If I had known for just one second, 
         E
you'd be back to bother me 
 
 

 
           Am               Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
           G               
Just turn around now, 'cos 
           Cmaj7
you're not welcome any more 
Fmaj7                      
   Weren't you the one who 
            Bm7b5
   tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                  Esus4    
Did you think I'd crumble; 
                  E
did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I; I will survive,
       G                           
Oh, as long as I know how to love, 
  Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive 
         Fmaj7                
I've got all my life to live, 
         Bm7b5
I've got all my love to give,
            Esus4   
And I'll survive, I 
        E           Am
will survive, hey hey
 
 
Am Dm  G  Cmaj7  Fmaj7  
Bm7b5  Esus4  E
 
        Am               
It took all the strength 
             Dm
I had not to fall apart 
            G                
Kept trying hard to mend the 
             Cmaj7
pieces of my broken heart 
            Fmaj7               
And I spent oh, so many nights, 
             Bm7b5
just feeling sorry for myself,
          Esus4          E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high 
            Am           Dm
And you see me; somebody new,
             G                         
I'm not that chained up little person, 
         Cmaj7
still in love with you 
           Fmaj7              
And so you felt like dropping 
              Bm7b5
in and just expect me to be free,
        Esus4                 
Now I'm saving all my loving, 
        E
for someone who's loving me 
 
 

 
           Am               Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
           G               
Just turn around now, 'cos 
           Cmaj7
you're not welcome any more 
Fmaj7                  
   Weren't you the one 
                Bm7b5
   who tried to break me with goodbye?
                  Esus4    
Did you think I'd crumble; 
                  E
did you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I; I will survive,
       G                           
Oh, as long as I know how to love, 
  Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive 
         Fmaj7                
I've got all my life to live, 
         Bm7b5
I've got all my love to give,
            Esus4 
And I'll survive, 
          E
I will survive    oh
 
 

 
           Am               Dm
Go on now, go; walk out the door;
           G          
Just turn around now, 
                Cmaj7

              E
you think I'd lay down and die?
           Am           Dm
Oh no, not I; I will survive,
       G                           
Oh, as long as I know how to love, 
  Cmaj7
I know I'll stay alive 
         Fmaj7                
I've got all my life to live, 
         Bm7b5
I've got all my love to give,
            Esus4        
And I'll survive, I will 
   E               Am
survive, I will survive
