I Will Survive - CAKE
Tuning: , E A D G B E
This sounds ok, even better if you play the bar chords starting from Am at the 5th fret
(only E and E7 would be played in the basic position). For beginners the first
position chords might be enough to start with.

[Verse 1]
At first I was
afraid, I was
petrified I k
ept thinkin' I
could never l
ive
without you by
my side But t
hen I spent so
many nights j
ust thinking h
ow you've
done me wrong
And I grew str
ong, I learned
how to get al
ong...
And so you're
back from oute
r space, I jus
t walked in to
find you here
with
that, that loo
k upon your fa
ce, I should h
ave changed my
fuckin' lock,
I
would have mad
e you leave yo
ur key - If I'
d have known f
or just one se
cond you'd
be back to bot
her me.
[Chorus]
Oh now go, wal
k out the door
, Just turn ar
ound now, you'
re not welcome
anymore. Weren
't you the one
who tried to
break me with
desire? Did yo
u think
I'd crumble? D
id you think I
'd lay down an
d die?
Oh not I, I wi
ll survive, Ye
ah, as long as
I know how to

t all my life
to live, I've
got all my lov
e to give, I w

[Verse 2]
It took all th
e strength I h
ad just not to
fall apart, I
'm tryin' hard
to
mend the piece
s of my broken
heart, And I
spent oh so ma
ny nights just
feelin' sorry
for myself, I
used to cry, b
ut now I hold
my head up hig
h.
And you'll see
me with someb
ody new, I'm n
ot that stupid
little person
still
in love with y
ou. And so you
thought you'd
just drop by
and you expect
me to
be free, But n
ow I'm saving
all my lovin'
for someone wh
o's lovin' me,
[Chorus]
Oh now go, wal
k out the door
, Just turn ar
ound now, you'
re not welcome
anymore. Weren
't you the one
who tried to
break me with
desire? Did yo
u think
I'd crumble? D
id you think I
'd lay down an
d die?
Oh not I, I wi
ll survive, Ye
ah, as long as
I know how to
love, I know
I'll be
alive. I've go
t all my life
to live, I've
got all my lov
