Elton John, I'm Still Standing (1983)
Key: :[A#m] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[A#m] [D#m/A#] [F/A#] ^
[F#/A#] ^
[G#/A#] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[A#] You could never know
[D#/A#] what it's like
Your
[F/A#] blood like winter freezes
[A#] just like ice
And there's a
[Cm7/A#] cold lonely light that shines from
[F] you
You'll
[Gm] wind up like the wreck you
[D#] hide, behind that
[A#] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[A#] And did you think this fool could
[D#/A#] never win
Well,
[F/A#] look at me I'm comin'
[A#] back again
I got a
[Cm7/A#] taste of love in a simple
[F] way
and if you
[Gm] need to know while I'm still
[D#] standing, you just
[A#] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[A#m] I'm still standing, better than I
[Fm7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[D#m] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[F#] little kid
[G#]
[A#m] I'm still standing, after
[Fm7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[D#m] pieces of my life without you
[Fm7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[F#] I'm ^
[G#] still
[A#m] standing,
[D#m7] yeah, yeah,
[F7] yeah
^
[F#] I'm ^
[G#] still
[A#m] standing,
[D#m7] yeah, yeah,
[F7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[A#] Once I never could've
[D#/A#] hope to win
You
[F/A#] starting down the road leaving
[A#] me again
The
[Cm7/A#] threats you made were meant to cut me
[F] down
And if our
[Gm] love was just a
[D#] circus, you'd be a
[A#] clown by now
