-- Verse

At A- first I was afraid, I was D- petrified,

Kept thinking G I could never live without you C^ by my side.

But then I F^ spent so many nights, thinking B° how you did me wrong,

And I grew Esus4 strong; and I learned E how to get along.

-- Verse
            
                And so you're back, from outer space,
                
                I just walked in to find you here, with that sad look upon your face.
                
                I should have changed that stupid lock,
                
                I should have made you leave your key,
                
                If I had known for just one second, you'd be back to bother me.

-- Chorus
            
                Go on now, go; walk out the door;
                
                Just turn around now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
                
                Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye?
                
                Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
                
                Oh no, not I; I will survive,
                
                Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
                
                I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
                
                And I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey

                It took all the strength I had not to fall apart.
                
                Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart.
                
                And I spent oh, so many nights, just feeling sorry for myself,
                
                I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high.
                
                And you see me; somebody new,
                
                I'm not that chained up little person, still in love with you.
                
                And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free,
                
                Now I'm saving all my loving, for someone who's loving me.

-- Chorus
            
                Go on now, go; walk out the door;
                
                Just turn around now, 'cos you're not welcome any more.
                
                Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye?
                
                Did you think I'd crumble; did you think I'd lay down and die?
                
                Oh no, not I; I will survive,
                
                Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
                
                I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
                
                And I'll survive, I will survive... oh

-- Chorus

                Oh no, not I; I will survive,
                
                Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive.
                
                I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
                
                And I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive...
