E7

At AmFirst I Was Afraid, I WasDm Petrified,
Kept Thinking GI Could Never 
Live Without You Cmaj7By My Side 
But Then I Fmaj7Spent So Many Nights, 
Thinking Bm7b5How You Did Me Wrong,
And I Grew Esus4Strong; And 
I Learned EHow To Get Along 

And So You're AmBack, From OuterDm Space,
I Just Walked GIn To Find You Here, 
With That Sad Cmaj7Look Upon Your Face 
I Should Have Fmaj7Changed That Stupid Lock,
I Should Have Bm7b5Made You Leave Your Key,
If I Had Esus4Known For Just One Second, 
You'd Be EBack To Bother Me 




Go On Now, AmGo; Walk Out TheDm Door;
Just Turn AGround Now, 'Cos 
You're Not Cmaj7Welcome Any More 
Fmaj7   Weren't You The One Who 
   Tried To Bm7b5Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Did You Think I'd Esus4Crumble; 
Did You Think I'd ELay Down And Die?
Oh No, Not AmI; I Will SuDmrvive,
Oh, As GLong As I Know How To Love, 
I Cmaj7Know I'll Stay Alive 
I've Got Fmaj7All My Life To Live, 
I've Got Bm7b5All My Love To Give,
And I'll SurEsus4vive, I 
Will SurEvive, Hey HAmey

I Had Not To DmFall Apart 
Kept Trying GHard To Mend The 
Pieces Of My Cmaj7Broken Heart 
And I Spent Fmaj7Oh, So Many Nights, 
Just Feeling Bm7b5Sorry For Myself,
I Used To Esus4Cry, But Now IE7 Hold My Head Up High 
And You See AmMe; SomebodyDm New,
I'm Not That GChained Up Little Person, 
Still In Cmaj7Love With You 
And So You Fmaj7Felt Like Dropping 
In And Just ExBm7b5pect Me To Be Free,
Now I'm Esus4Saving All My Loving, 
For SomeEone Who's Loving Me
