Gloria Gaynor
I Will Survive
(1978)

e  F°7  piano charactéristique

   Am                        Dm7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
                G                              Cmaj7
I kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
           Fmaj7                              B°
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you'd done me wrong
       Esus4                 E
I grew strong, and I learned how to get along

And so you're back, from outer space                                      (embarque)
I just walked in to find you here without that look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock, I would have made you leave your key
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me

  Oh, now go, walk out the door
  Just turn around, now, you're not welcome anymore
  Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire
  Did you think I'd crumble, did you think I'd lay down and die

  Oh not I, I will survive, yeah
  As long as I know how to love I know I'll be alive
  I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
  I will survive, I will survive, hey hey

(mélodie)

It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high

And you see me with somebody new
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you
And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to be free
But now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me

  Refrain ... oh

  Refrain  w/ mélodie

(fade out)
