[Verse 1] At [Am] first I was afraid, I was [Dm] petrified, Kept thinking [G] I could never live without you [Cmaj7] by my side. But then I [Fmaj7] spent so many nights, thinking [Bm7b5-x20201] how you did me wrong, And I grew [Esus4] strong; and I learned [E] how to get along.
And so you're [Am] back, from outer [Dm] space, I just walked [G] in to find you here, with that sad [Cmaj7] look upon your face. I should have [Fmaj7] changed that stupid lock, I should have [Bm7b5] made you leave your key, If I had [Esus4] known for just one second, you'd be [E] back to bother me.
[Chorus] Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door; Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more. [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] hurt me with goodbye? Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die? Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive, Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive. I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give, And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, hey he [Am] y
[Verse 2] It took [Am] all the strength I had not to [Dm] fall apart. Kept trying [G] hard to mend the pieces of my [Cmaj7] broken heart. And I spent [Fmaj7] oh, so many nights, just feeling [Bm7b5] sorry for myself, I used to [Esus4] cry, but now I [E7] hold my head up high. And you see [Am] me; somebody [Dm] new, I'm not that [G] chained up little person, still in [Cmaj7] love with you. And so you [Fmaj7] felt like dropping in and just ex [Bm7b5] pect me to be free, Now I'm [Esus4] saving all my loving, for some [E] one who's loving me.
[Chorus] Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door; Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more. [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die? Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive, Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive. I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give, And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive... oh
[Chorus] Go on now, [Am] go; walk out the [Dm] door; Just turn a [G] round now, 'cos you're not [Cmaj7] welcome any more. [Fmaj7] Weren't you the one who tried to [Bm7b5] break me with goodbye? Did you think I'd [Esus4] crumble; did you think I'd [E] lay down and die? Oh no, not [Am] I; I will sur [Dm] vive, Oh, as [G] long as I know how to love, I [Cmaj7] know I'll stay alive. I've got [Fmaj7] all my life to live, I've got [Bm7b5] all my love to give, And I'll sur [Esus4] vive, I will sur [E] vive, I will sur [Am] vive...
