INTRO:
[Gm] [Cm/G] [D/G] ^
[Eb/G] ^
[F/G] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[G] You could never know
[C/G] what it's like
Your
[D/G] blood like winter freezes
[G] just like ice
And there's a
[Am7/G] cold lonely light that shines from
[D] you
You'll
[Em] wind up like the wreck you
[C] hide, behind that
[G] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[G] And did you think this fool could
[C/G] never win
Well,
[D/G] look at me I'm comin'
[G] back again
I got a
[Am7/G] taste of love in a simple
[D] way
and if you
[Em] need to know while I'm still
[C] standing, you just
[G] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Gm] I'm still standing, better than I
[Dm7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Cm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[Eb] little kid
[F]
[Gm] I'm still standing, after
[Dm7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Cm] pieces of my life without you
[Dm7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[Eb] I'm ^
[F] still
[Gm] standing,
[Cm7] yeah, yeah,
[D7] yeah
^
[Eb] I'm ^
[F] still
[Gm] standing,
[Cm7] yeah, yeah,
[D7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[G] Once I never could've
[C/G] hope to win
You
[D/G] starting down the road leaving
[G] me again
The
[Am7/G] threats you made were meant to cut me
[D] down
And if our
[Em] love was just a
[C] circus, you'd be a
[G] clown by now
