INTRO:
[Cm] [Fm/C] [G/C] ^
[Ab/C] ^
[Bb/C] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[C] You could never know
[F/C] what it's like
Your
[G/C] blood like winter freezes
[C] just like ice
And there's a
[Dm7/C] cold lonely light that shines from
[G] you
You'll
[Am] wind up like the wreck you
[F] hide, behind that
[C] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[C] And did you think this fool could
[F/C] never win
Well,
[G/C] look at me I'm comin'
[C] back again
I got a
[Dm7/C] taste of love in a simple
[G] way
and if you
[Am] need to know while I'm still
[F] standing, you just
[C] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Cm] I'm still standing, better than I
[Gm7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Fm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[Ab] little kid
[Bb]
[Cm] I'm still standing, after
[Gm7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Fm] pieces of my life without you
[Gm7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[Ab] I'm ^
[Bb] still
[Cm] standing,
[Fm7] yeah, yeah,
[G7] yeah
^
[Ab] I'm ^
[Bb] still
[Cm] standing,
[Fm7] yeah, yeah,
[G7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[C] Once I never could've
[F/C] hope to win
You
[G/C] starting down the road leaving
[C] me again
The
[Dm7/C] threats you made were meant to cut me
[G] down
And if our
[Am] love was just a
[F] circus, you'd be a
[C] clown by now
