Am                              Dm                         G
At first I was afraid, I was petrified I kept thinkin' I could never live
             C                       F                               Bm
without you by my side But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you've 
                           Em             E
done me wrong And I grew strong, I learned how to get along...

               Am              Dm                   G
And so you're back from outer space, I just walked in to find you here with 
            C                                       F
that, that look upon your face,  I should have changed my freak en lock, I 
            Bm                                    Em
would have made you leave your key- If I'd have known for just one second you'd 
     E
be back to bother me. 


       Am                Dm                  G                     C
Oh now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, you're not welcome 
        F                                    Bm
anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? Did you think
      Em                        E
I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

       Am          Dm                G                             C
Oh not I, I will survive, Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be
                 F                            Bm
alive. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will 
   Em              E
survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...


(SOLO)


         Am                                       Dm                G
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart,  I'm tryin' hard to 
                        C                        F
mend the pieces of my broken heart, And I spent oh so many nights just 
           Bm                        Em             E
feelin' sorry for myself, I used to cry, But now I hold my head up high. 


               Am                Dm                 G
And you'll see me with somebody new, I'm not that stupid little person still 
     C                        F                                    Bm
in love with you. And so you thought you'd just drop by and you expect me to 
                      Em                          E
be free, But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me, 



       Am                Dm                  G                     C
Oh now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, you're not welcome 
        F                                    Bm
anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? Did you think
      Em                        E
I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

       Am          Dm                G                             C
Oh not I, I will survive, Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be
                 F                            Bm
alive. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will 
   Em             E
survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...

But, the Bm should be only a B (Major) and instead of Em and E, it should be E followed by E7. That's how I play it and it seems all right.

About this song: I Will Survive

Cake covered "I Will Survive" in 1996 on the album Fashion Nugget. This is Gloria Gaynor's least favorite version of the song, due to its use of profanity: lead singer John McCrea altered the line "I should have changed that stupid lock" to "I should have changed my fucking lock." The music video for Cake's version features John McCrea as a parking control officer who is writing tickets in San Francisco, often at the expense of normally happy people (such as a newly wed couple).
