Lyrics

At (Am)first I was a fraid, I was (Dm)pet ri fied, kept think ing (G)I could nev er live with out you (C)by my side; but then I (Fmaj7)spent so ma ny nights think in’ (Bm7)how you did me wrong, and I grew (Esus4)strong,

and I learned (E)how to get a long.

And so you’re (Am)back,

from out er (Dm)space.

I just walked (G)in to find you here with that sad (C)look up on your face.

I should have changed that stu pid lock, I should have made you leave your key, if I’d ’ve known for just one sec ond you’d be (E)back to both er me.

Go on now (Am)go,

walk out the door,

just turn a round now, ’cause you’re not (C)wel come a ny more.

Weren’t you the one who tried to hurt me with good byes?

Did I (Esus4)crum ble?

Did you think I’d (E)lay down and die?

Oh no, not (Am)I,

I will sur vive,

hey, (Am)hey!
