Elton John, I'm Still Standing (1983)
Key: :[Bbm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Bbm] [Ebm/Bb] [F/Bb] ^
[Gb/Bb] ^
[Ab/Bb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Bb] You could never know
[Eb/Bb] what it's like
Your
[F/Bb] blood like winter freezes
[Bb] just like ice
And there's a
[Cm7/Bb] cold lonely light that shines from
[F] you
You'll
[Gm] wind up like the wreck you
[Eb] hide, behind that
[Bb] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[Bb] And did you think this fool could
[Eb/Bb] never win
Well,
[F/Bb] look at me I'm comin'
[Bb] back again
I got a
[Cm7/Bb] taste of love in a simple
[F] way
and if you
[Gm] need to know while I'm still
[Eb] standing, you just
[Bb] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Bbm] I'm still standing, better than I
[Fm7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Ebm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[Gb] little kid
[Ab]
[Bbm] I'm still standing, after
[Fm7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Ebm] pieces of my life without you
[Fm7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[Gb] I'm ^
[Ab] still
[Bbm] standing,
[Ebm7] yeah, yeah,
[F7] yeah
^
[Gb] I'm ^
[Ab] still
[Bbm] standing,
[Ebm7] yeah, yeah,
[F7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[Bb] Once I never could've
[Eb/Bb] hope to win
You
[F/Bb] starting down the road leaving
[Bb] me again
The
[Cm7/Bb] threats you made were meant to cut me
[F] down
And if our
[Gm] love was just a
[Eb] circus, you'd be a
[Bb] clown by now
REPEAT PRE-CHORUS:
