    Am7(-05555)               Dm
At first I was afraid . I was petrified
                     G                                           C
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
                Fmaj7(103210)                      -20230
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
                   E                                    E7
And I grew strong . . . . and I learned how to get along
                       /A 5555-||-||               /D    10101010-||
And so you're back . . . . from outer space
/E /F /F#      G                                  /A   /B    C
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
   /D       e       Fmaj7                                                  -20230
I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
    /D /D#   E                                                      E7
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

{Refrain
/E   /F# G# /A - 5555-||-||             /D 10101010-|-||
Go on now go . . . . walk out the door
/E    /F   /F#  G                                       C
Just turn around now . . . cuz you're not welcome anymore
/D e           Fmaj7                                                     -20230
     Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
    /D /D#   E                                                     454
Do you think I'd crumble . . . did you think I'd lay down and die

/E  /F# /G# /A 5555-||-||         /D 10101010-|-|-||
Oh no not I . . . . I will survive
/E /F /F# G                               /A   /B C
   Oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
/D   e    Fmaj7                                  -20230
I've got all my life to live and I've got all my love to give
                 E7                   E2(--0454) /E /F# /G# /A 5555-||-|| /D 10101010-||
And I'll survive ... I will survive . . . . . . . . } hey . . hey

/E /F /F# G-|-|-|| /G /A /B C-|-|-|| /D e Fmaj7 -20230 E7 454

/E   /F# G# /A      5555-||-||                 /D   10101010-||
      It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
/E /F   /F#      G                                /A /B C
           Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
       /D e      Fmaj7                                   -20230
And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
   /D   /D# E                          454
I used to cry . . . . but now I hold my head up high
/E    /F# /G# /A 5555  -||-|-||        /D   10101010-|-|-||
And you see me . . . . somebody new
/E  /F    /F# G                                /A /B C
I'm not that chained-up little person still in love with you
        /D e    Fmaj7                                   -20230
And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
         /D /D# E                                        454
Well now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me

[REFRAIN] oh [REFRAIN]
