Am - Dm - E F-G (2x)
A D
1. You could never know what it's
like,
E A
your blood like winter freezes
just like ice.
F#m D
E
And there's a cold lonely
light that shines from you,
F#m D A
you'll wind up like the wreck
you hide behind that mask you use.
A D
2. And did you think this
fool could never win?
E A
Well, look at me, I'm coming
back again !
F#m D
E
I got a taste of love in a
simple way,
F#m
D A
and if you need to know while
I'm still standing you just fade away.
Am Em
Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,
Dm F
- G
looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little
kid.
Am
Em
I'm still standing after all this time,
Dm E
picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.
Am Dm
E
I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!
Am
Dm
E
I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!
F-G-A D
3. Once I never could
hope to win.
E A
you starting
down the road, leaving me again.
F#m
D E
The threats you made were
meant to cut me down,
F#m
D
A
and if our love was just a
circus, you'd be a clown by now.
Am Em
Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,
Dm F - G
looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little
kid.
Am Em
I'm still standing after all this time,
Dm
E
picking up the pieces of my life without you on my
mind.
Am Dm E
I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!
Am Dm E
I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!
