At GmFirst I Was Afraid, I WasCm Petrified,
Kept Thinking FI Could Never 
Live Without You A#maj7By My Side 
But Then I D#maj7Spent So Many Nights, 
Thinking Bm7b5How You Did Me Wrong,
And I Grew Dsus4Strong; And 
I Learned DHow To Get Along 

And So You're GmBack, From OuterCm Space,
I Just Walked FIn To Find You Here, 
With That Sad A#maj7Look Upon Your Face 
I Should Have D#maj7Changed That Stupid Lock,
I Should Have Bm7b5Made You Leave Your Key,
If I Had Dsus4Known For Just One Second, 
You'd Be DBack To Bother Me 




Go On Now, GmGo; Walk Out TheCm Door;
Just Turn AFround Now, 'Cos 
You're Not A#maj7Welcome Any More 
D#maj7   Weren't You The One Who 
   Tried To Bm7b5Hurt Me With Goodbye?
Did You Think I'd Dsus4Crumble; 
Did You Think I'd DLay Down And Die?
Oh No, Not GmI; I Will SuCmrvive,
Oh, As FLong As I Know How To Love, 
I A#maj7Know I'll Stay Alive 
I've Got D#maj7All My Life To Live, 
I've Got Bm7b5All My Love To Give,
And I'll SurDsus4vive, I 
Will SurDvive, Hey HGmey

And You See GmMe; SomebodyCm New,
I'm Not That FChained Up Little Person, 
Still In A#maj7Love With You 
And So You D#maj7Felt Like Dropping 
In And Just ExBm7b5pect Me To Be Free,

For SomeDone Who's Loving Me
