At CmFirst I Was Afraid, I WasFm Petrified,
Kept Thinking A#I Could Never 
Live Without You D#maj7By My Side 
But Then I G#maj7Spent So Many Nights, 
Thinking Bm7b5How You Did Me Wrong,
And I Grew Gsus4Strong; And 
I Learned GHow To Get Along 

And So You're CmBack, From OuterFm Space,
I Just Walked A#In To Find You Here, 
With That Sad D#maj7Look Upon Your Face 
I Should Have G#maj7Changed That Stupid Lock,
I Should Have Bm7b5Made You Leave Your Key,
If I Had Gsus4Known For Just One Second, 
You'd Be GBack To Bother Me 




Go On Now, CmGo; Walk Out TheFm Door;
Just Turn AA#round Now, 'Cos 
You're Not D#maj7Welcome Any More 
G#maj7   Weren't You The One Who 
   Tried To Bm7b5Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Did You Think I'd Gsus4Crumble; 
Did You Think I'd GLay Down And Die?
Oh No, Not CmI; I Will SuFmrvive,
Oh, As A#Long As I Know How To Love, 
I D#maj7Know I'll Stay Alive 
I've Got G#maj7All My Life To Live, 
I've Got Bm7b5All My Love To Give,
And I'll SurGsus4vive, I 
Will SurGvive, Hey HCmey
