I Will Survive (Cake)
 
 
INTRO:   Am  Dm  G  C  F  B  E
 
 
    Am                      Dm
At first I was afraid I was petrified
       G                              C
I was thinking I could never live without you by my side
             F                                 B
but then I spent so many nights just thinking how you did me wrong
         E
I grew strong 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 without that look upon your face.
                F                                   B
I should have changed my fucking lock. I would have made you leave your key
             E
If I'd have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me. 


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


        Am                                 Dm
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart.
            G                             C    
I'm trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
        F                                   B
And I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself.
           E
I used to cry.  But now I hold my head up high. 
               Am               Dm
And you'll see me with somebody new.
              G                             C
I'm not that stupid little person still in love with you.
              F                                   B
And so you thought you'd just drop by, and you expect me to be free.
             E
But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me. 


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