[Verse 1]
 
   Am                        Dm
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
                G                  
I kept thinkin' I could never live 
            C
without you by my side
           F                         
But then I spent so many nights just 
         Dm
thinking how you'd done me wrong
       E                 E7
I grew strong, 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 
             C
without that look upon your face,
              F                         
I should have changed my fuckin' lock, I
          B7
 would've made you leave your key-
              E                       
If I'd have known for just one second 
         E7
you'd be back to bother me.

[Chorus]
 
       Am               Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
            G                     C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome
 anymore.
         F                         Dm
Weren't you the one who tried to break 
me with desire?
                   E                    
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think
      E7
 I'd lay down and die?
 
       Am           Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
          G                            
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I 
  C
know I'll be alive.
          F                            
I've got all my life to live, I've got 
 Dm
all my love to give
          E                E7         
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, 
 Am

[Verse 2]
 
         Am                             
It took all the strength I had just not 
   Dm
to fall apart,
           G                            
I'm tryin' hard to mend the pieces of my
 C
 broken heart,
            F                      
And I spent oh so many nights just 
        Dm
feelin' sorry for myself,
          E              E7
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up
 high.
 
     Am               Dm
And you'll see me with somebody new,
             G                          
I'm not that stupid little person still 
   C
in love with you.
           F                          
And so you thought you'd just drop by 
          Dm
and you expect me to be free,
            E                        
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for 
    E7
someone who's lovin' me,
 
 
[Chorus]
 
       Am               Dm
Oh now go, walk out the door,
            G                     C
Just turn around now, you're not welcome
 anymore.
         F                         B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break 
me with desire?
                   E                    
Did you think I'd crumble? Did you think
      E7
 I'd lay down and die?
 
       Am           Dm
Oh not I, I will survive,
          G                            
Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I 
  C
know I'll be alive.
          F                            
I've got all my life to live, I've got 
 Dm
all my love to give
          E                E7         
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, 
 Am
yeah...
