CAKE - I Will Survive

Intro Am-Dm-G-C-F-Bm-Em-E

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…
