And you [Am]want to travel with her and you [Bb]want to travel blindAnd you [F]know that you will trust herFor she's [Gm]touched your perfect body with her [F]mind

I Will SurviveDino Fekaris & Freddie Perren, performed by Gloria Gaynor 1978

[Dm] At first I was afraid I was [Gm7] petrified Kept thinkin' [C] I could never live without you [Fmaj7] by my side;But then I [Bbmaj7] spent so many nights thinkin'[Gm7] how you did me wrongAnd I grew [A] strong I learned [A7] how to get along [Dm] And so you're back from outer [Gm7] spaceI just walked [C] in to find you here with that sad [Fmaj7] look upon your faceI should have [Bbmaj7] changed that stupid lockI should have [Gm7] made you leave your key If I'd've [A] known for just one second you'd be [A7] back to bother me

CHORUS:[Dm] Go on now go, walk out the [Gm7] doorJust turn a[C]round now 'cause you're not [Fmaj7] welcome anymore Weren't [Bbmaj7] you the one who tried to [Gm7] hurt me with goodbyeDid I [A] crumble Did you think I'd [A7] lay down and die?[Dm] Oh no, not I, I will sur[Gm7]viveOh as [C] long as I know how to love I [Fmaj7] know I'll stay alive; I've got [Bbmaj7] all my life to live,I've got [Gm7] all my love to give andI'll sur[A]vive, I will sur[A7]vive.

[Dm] It took all the strength I had not to [Gm7] fall apart Kept trying' [C] hard to mend the pieces of my [Fmaj7] broken heart, And I [Bbmaj7] spent oh so many nights just feeling [Gm7] sorry for myself.I used to [A] cry but now I [A7] hold my head up high[Dm] And you see me somebody [Gm7] new I'm not that [C] chained up little person [Fmaj7] still in love with you,And so you [Bbmaj7] feel like droppin' in and just ex[Gm7]pect me to be free,Now I'm [A] savin' all my lovin' for some[A7]one who's lovin' me

Repeat Chorus x 2
