At Amfirst I was afraid, I was Dmpetrified
Kept thinkin' GI could never live without you Cby my side
But then I Fmaj7spent so many nights thinking A#how you did me wrong
And I grew Estrong, and I learned E7how to get along
And so you're Amback, from outer Dmspace
I just Gwalked in to find you here with that sad Clook upon your face
I should have Fmaj7changed that stupid lock, I should have A#made you leave your key
If EI'd have known for just one second you'd be E7back to bother me
Go on now Amgo, walk out the Dmdoor
Just turn aGround now, 'cos you're not Cwelcome anymore
Fmaj7Weren't you the one who tried to A#hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd Ecrumble, did you think I'd E7lay down and die
Oh no not AmI, I will surDmvive
For as Glong as I know how to love, I Cknow I'll stay alive
I've got Fmaj7all my life to live and I've got A#all my love to give
And I'll surEvive, I will surE7vive, hey hey
It took Amall the strength I had just Dmnot to fall apart,
They're Gtryin' hard to mend the pieces of my Cbroken heart
And I Fmaj7spent oh so many nights just feelin' A#sorry for myself
I used to Ecry, but now I E7hold my head up high
And you see Amme, somebody Dmnew
I'm not that Gchained up little person still in Clove with you
And so you Fmaj7felt like dropping in and just exA#pect me to be free
Well, now I'm Esaving all my lovin' for someE7one who's lovin' me
Go on now Amgo, walk out the Dmdoor
Just turn aGround now, 'cos you're not Cwelcome anymore
Fmaj7Weren't you the one who tried to A#hurt me with goodbye
Did you think I'd Ecrumble, did you think I'd E7lay down and die
Oh no not AmI, I will surDmvive
For as Glong as I know how to love, I Cknow I'll stay alive
I've got Fmaj7all my life to live and I've got A#all my love to give
And I'll surEvive, I will surE7vive, hey hey
