Elton John, I'm Still Standing (1983)
Key: :[Bm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Bm] [Em/B] [F#/B] ^
[G/B] ^
[A/B] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[B] You could never know
[E/B] what it's like
Your
[F#/B] blood like winter freezes
[B] just like ice
And there's a
[C#m7/B] cold lonely light that shines from
[F#] you
You'll
[G#m] wind up like the wreck you
[E] hide, behind that
[B] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[B] And did you think this fool could
[E/B] never win
Well,
[F#/B] look at me I'm comin'
[B] back again
I got a
[C#m7/B] taste of love in a simple
[F#] way
and if you
[G#m] need to know while I'm still
[E] standing, you just
[B] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Bm] I'm still standing, better than I
[F#m7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Em] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[G] little kid
[A]
[Bm] I'm still standing, after
[F#m7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Em] pieces of my life without you
[F#m7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[G] I'm ^
[A] still
[Bm] standing,
[Em7] yeah, yeah,
[F#7] yeah
^
[G] I'm ^
[A] still
[Bm] standing,
[Em7] yeah, yeah,
[F#7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[B] Once I never could've
[E/B] hope to win
You
[F#/B] starting down the road leaving
[B] me again
The
[C#m7/B] threats you made were meant to cut me
[F#] down
And if our
[G#m] love was just a
[E] circus, you'd be a
[B] clown by now
