At DmFirst I Was Afraid, I WasGm Petrified,
Kept Thinking CI Could Never 
Live Without You Fmaj7By My Side 
But Then I A#maj7Spent So Many Nights, 
Thinking Bm7b5How You Did Me Wrong,
And I Grew Asus4Strong; And 
I Learned AHow To Get Along 

And So You're DmBack, From OuterGm Space,
I Just Walked CIn To Find You Here, 
With That Sad Fmaj7Look Upon Your Face 
I Should Have A#maj7Changed That Stupid Lock,
I Should Have Bm7b5Made You Leave Your Key,
If I Had Asus4Known For Just One Second, 
You'd Be ABack To Bother Me 




Go On Now, DmGo; Walk Out TheGm Door;
Just Turn ACround Now, 'Cos 
You're Not Fmaj7Welcome Any More 
A#maj7   Weren't You The One Who 
   Tried To Bm7b5Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Did You Think I'd Asus4Crumble; 
Did You Think I'd ALay Down And Die?
Oh No, Not DmI; I Will SuGmrvive,
Oh, As CLong As I Know How To Love, 
I Fmaj7Know I'll Stay Alive 
I've Got A#maj7All My Life To Live, 
I've Got Bm7b5All My Love To Give,
And I'll SurAsus4vive, I 
Will SurAvive, Hey HDmey

I Used To Asus4Cry, But Now IA7 Hold My Head Up High 
And You See DmMe; SomebodyGm New,
I'm Not That CChained Up Little Person, 
Still In Fmaj7Love With You 
And So You A#maj7Felt Like Dropping

Now I'm Asus4Saving All My Loving, 
For SomeAone Who's Loving Me
