E7

At EmFirst I Was Afraid, I WasAm Petrified,
Kept Thinking DI Could Never 
Live Without You Gmaj7By My Side 
But Then I Cmaj7Spent So Many Nights, 
Thinking Bm7b5How You Did Me Wrong,
And I Grew Bsus4Strong; And 
I Learned BHow To Get Along 

And So You're EmBack, From OuterAm Space,
I Just Walked DIn To Find You Here, 
With That Sad Gmaj7Look Upon Your Face 
I Should Have Cmaj7Changed That Stupid Lock,
I Should Have Bm7b5Made You Leave Your Key,
If I Had Bsus4Known For Just One Second, 
You'd Be BBack To Bother Me 




Go On Now, EmGo; Walk Out TheAm Door;
Just Turn ADround Now, 'Cos 
You're Not Gmaj7Welcome Any More 
Cmaj7   Weren't You The One Who 
   Tried To Bm7b5Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Did You Think I'd Bsus4Crumble; 
Did You Think I'd BLay Down And Die?
Oh No, Not EmI; I Will SuAmrvive,
Oh, As DLong As I Know How To Love, 
I Gmaj7Know I'll Stay Alive 
I've Got Cmaj7All My Life To Live, 
I've Got Bm7b5All My Love To Give,
And I'll SurBsus4vive, I 
Will SurBvive, Hey HEmey

And I Spent Cmaj7Oh, So Many Nights, 
Just Feeling Bm7b5Sorry For Myself,
I Used To Bsus4Cry, But Now IB7 Hold My Head Up High 
And You See EmMe; SomebodyAm New,
I'm Not That DChained Up Little Person, 
Still In Gmaj7Love With You 
And So You Cmaj7Felt Like Dropping 
In And Just ExBm7b5pect Me To Be Free,
Now I'm Bsus4Saving All My Loving, 
For SomeBone Who's Loving Me
