INTRO:
[Am] [Dm/A] [E/A] ^
[F/A] ^
[G/A] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[A] You could never know
[D/A] what it's like
Your
[E/A] blood like winter freezes
[A] just like ice
And there's a
[Bm7/A] cold lonely light that shines from
[E] you
You'll
[F#m] 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,
[E/A] look at me I'm comin'
[A] back again
I got a
[Bm7/A] taste of love in a simple
[E] way
and if you
[F#m] need to know while I'm still
[D] standing, you just
[A] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Am] I'm still standing, better than I
[Em7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Dm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[F] little kid
[G]
[Am] I'm still standing, after
[Em7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Dm] pieces of my life without you
[Em7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[F] I'm ^
[G] still
[Am] standing,
[Dm7] yeah, yeah,
[E7] yeah
^
[F] I'm ^
[G] still
[Am] standing,
[Dm7] yeah, yeah,
[E7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[A] Once I never could've
[D/A] hope to win
You
[E/A] starting down the road leaving
[A] me again
The
[Bm7/A] threats you made were meant to cut me
[E] down
And if our
[F#m] love was just a
[D] circus, you'd be a
[A] clown by now
