Key: :[Dbm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Dbm] [Gbm/Db] [G#/Db] ^
[A/Db] ^
[B/Db] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Db] You could never know
[Gb/Db] what it's like
Your
[G#/Db] blood like winter freezes
[Db] just like ice
And there's a
[D#m7/Db] cold lonely light that shines from
[G#] you
You'll
[A#m] wind up like the wreck you
[Gb] hide, behind that
[Db] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[Db] And did you think this fool could
[Gb/Db] never win
Well,
[G#/Db] look at me I'm comin'
[Db] back again
I got a
[D#m7/Db] taste of love in a simple
[G#] way
and if you
[A#m] need to know while I'm still
[Gb] standing, you just
[Db] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Dbm] I'm still standing, better than I
[G#m7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Gbm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[A] little kid
[B]
[Dbm] I'm still standing, after
[G#m7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Gbm] pieces of my life without you
[G#m7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[A] I'm ^
[B] still
[Dbm] standing,
[Gbm7] yeah, yeah,
[G#7] yeah
^
[A] I'm ^
[B] still
[Dbm] standing,
[Gbm7] yeah, yeah,
[G#7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[Db] Once I never could've
[Gb/Db] hope to win
You
[G#/Db] starting down the road leaving
[Db] me again
The
[D#m7/Db] threats you made were meant to cut me
[G#] down
And if our
[A#m] love was just a
[Gb] circus, you'd be a
[Db] clown by now
