[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]
[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.
