Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

Am7
Dm7
And I grew strong, I learned how to carry on, and so you're back from outer space
G
G7
Cmaj7
I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face
Fmaj7
Bm7
-5 I should have changed that stupid lock I should have made you leave your key
Esus4
E
If I had known for just one second you'd be back to bother me [Chorus]
Am7
Dm7
Go on now go, walk out the door,
G
G7
Cmaj7
just turn around now 'cause you're not welcome anymore
Fmaj7
Bm7
-5 weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye

did you think I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die
Am7
Dm7
G
G7
Cmaj7
Oh no not I, I will survive, as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive

It took all the strength I had not to fall apart

kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart

I used to cry, but now I hold my head up high and you see me somebody new
G

Cmaj7
I'm not that chained up little person still in love with you

-5 and so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free
Esus4
E
now I'm saving all my loving for someone who's loving me [Chorus] x2
