Gloria Gaynor – I Will Survive Cover, Chords, and Lyrics

Baritone Ukulele Cover of I Will Survive by Gloria Gaynor

   Em7                       Am7
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
              D7                             Gmaj7
Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side
           Cmaj7                         F#m7-5
But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong
           Bsus4             B
And I grew strong, I learned how to carry on 
              Em7             Am7
and so you're back from outer space
              D              D7                 Gmaj7
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
              Cmaj7                                F#m7-5
I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
         Bsus4                              B
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me
 
          Em7             Am7
Go on now go, walk out the door
          D         D7                 Gmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Cmaj7                            F#m7-5
weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye
              Bsus4                      B
did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die
 
           Em7          Am7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   D              D7             Gmaj7
as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         Cmaj7                         F#m7-5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
            Bsus4           B          Em7
and I'll survive, I will survive, hey hey
 
| Em7   Am7    D    D7    Gmaj7    
Cmaj7    F#m7-5    Bsus4  B   | x2
 
        Em7                           Am7
It took all the strength I had not to fall apart
            D                D7           Gmaj7
kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart
            Cmaj7                          F#m7-5
and I spent oh so many nights just feeling sorry for myself
          Bsus4           B
I used to cry,  but now I hold my head up high
            Em7         Am7
and you see me somebody new
             D                 D7              Gmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you
           Cmaj7                            F#m7-5
and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
        Bsus4                        B
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me
 
          Em7             Am7
Go on now go walk out the door
          D         D7                 Gmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Cmaj7                            F#m7-5
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
              Bsus4                      B
did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
 
           Em7          Am7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   D              D7                 Gmaj7
oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         Cmaj7                         F#m7-5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
            Bsus4           B
and I'll survive, I will survive, oh
 
          Em7             Am7
Go on now go walk out the door
          D         D7                 Gmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Cmaj7                            F#m7-5
weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye
              Bsus4                      B
did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?
 
           Em7          Am7
Oh no, not I, I will survive
   D              D7                 Gmaj7
oh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive
         Cmaj7                         F#m7-5
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give
            Bsus4           B             Em7
and I'll survive, I will survive, I will survive
