Intro
[Am] [Dm] [G] [C] [F] [B] [E] [E7]
Verse 1
At [Am]first I was afraid, I was [Dm]petrified
I kept thinkin' [G]I could never live without you [C]by my side
But then I [F]spent so many nights just thinking [B7]how you'd done me wrong
I grew [E]strong, I learned [E7]how to get along...
And so [Am]you're back from [Dm]outer space
I just walked [G]in to find you here without that [C]look upon your face,
I should have [F]changed my fuckin' lock, I would've [B7]made you leave your key-
If I'd have [E]known for just one second you'd be [E7]back to bother me.
Chorus
Oh now [Am]go, walk out the [Dm]door,
Just turn [G]around now, you're not [C]welcome anymore.
Weren't [F]you the one who tried to [B7]break me with desire?
Did you think I'd [E]crumble? Did you think I'd [E7]lay down and die?
Oh not [Am]I, I will [Dm]survive,
Yeah, as [G]long as I know how to love, I [C]know I'll be alive.
I've got [F]all my life to live, I've got [B7]all my love to give
I will [E]survive, I will [E7]survive, Yeah, [Am]yeah...

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