(repeat)
 
[Verse 1]
[A] You could never know what it's [D/A] like.
Your blo [E/A] od like winter freezes [A] just like ice.
And there's a [Bm7/A-557777] cold lonely light that 
[D/A-557775] shines from you. [E] 
You'll [F#m] wind up like the wreck you [D] hide 
behind that [A] mask [Bm/A-5xx777] you [A] use.
[A] And did you think this fool could [D/A] never win?
Well [E/A] look at me, I'm coming [A] back again.
I got a [Bm7/A] taste of love in a [D/A] simple [E] way.
And if you [F#m] need to know while I'm still 
[D] standing you just [A] fade [Bm7/A] a [A] way.
 
[Chorus]
Don't you know [Am7] I'm still [Am] 
standing better than I [Em/G] ever did.
Looking like a [Dm7] true survivor, 
feeling like a [Fmaj7] little kid. [G] 
[Am7] I'm still [Am] standing after 
[Em/G] all this time.
Picking up the [Dm7] pieces of my life 
without you [E7] on my mind.
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
[F/E-0-x-10-10-10-x] [G/E-0-x-12-12-12-x]
 
[Verse 2] 
[A] Once I never could hope to [D/A] win.
You [E/A] starting down the road leaving [A] me again.
The [Bm7/A] threats you made were meant to 
[D/A] cut me [E] down.
And if our [F#m] love was just a 
[D] circus you'd be a [A] clown [Bm7/A] by now [A]
 
[Chorus] 
Don't you know [Am7] I'm still [Am] 
standing better than I [Em/G] ever did.
Looking like a [Dm7] true survivor, 
feeling like a [Fmaj7] little kid. [G] 
[Am7] I'm still [Am] standing after 
[Em/G] all this time.
Picking up the [Dm7] pieces of my life 
without you [E7] on my mind.
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
[F/E-0-x-10-10-10-x] [G/E-0-x-12-12-12-x]

[D]     [A]   [Bm7/A]
[A]
 
[Chorus/Outro]
Don't you know [Am7] I'm still [Am] 
standing better than I [Em/G] ever did.
Looking like a [Dm7] true survivor, 
feeling like a [Fmaj7] little kid. [G] 
[Am7] I'm still [Am] standing after 
[Em/G] all this time.
Picking up the [Dm7] pieces of my life 
without you [E7] on my mind.
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
I'm still [Am] standing. [Dm7] Yeah 
[Dm7] Yeah ye [E7] Yeah!
