Am                        Dm 
At first I was afraid, I was petrified 
              G                              C 
Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side 
        Am                           Dm 
Then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong 
             E 
And I grew strong 
               E7 
And I learned how to get along 
               
               Am              Dm 
And so you're back from outer space 
              G                                   C 
I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face 
               Am 
I should have changed that stupid lock 
               Dm 
I should have made you leave your key 
          E                                 E7 
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me 
   
           Am               Dm 
Go on now, go walk out the door 
           G 
Just turn around now 
                  C 
'Coz you're not welcome anymore 
 Am                              Dm 
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye? 
                   E 
Did you think I'd crumble? 
                   E7 
Did you think I'd lay down and die? 
          Am         Dm 
Oh no not I, I will survive 
        G                             C 
For as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive 
          Am 
I've got all my life to live 
             Dm 
And I've got all my love to give 
       E 
I'll survive 
        E7 
I will survive
