Elton John, I'm Still Standing (1983)
^{Key: :[Dm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)}

INTRO:
[Dm] [Gm/D] [A/D] ^[Bb/D] ^[C/D] : [x2]

VERSE 1:
[D] You could never know [G/D] what it's like
Your [A/D] blood like winter freezes [D] just like ice
And there's a [Em7/D] cold lonely light that shines from [A] you
You'll [Bm] wind up like the wreck you [G] hide, behind that [D] mask you use

VERSE 2:
[D] And did you think this fool could [G/D] never win
Well, [A/D] look at me I'm comin' [D] back again
I got a [Em7/D] taste of love in a simple [A] way
and if you [Bm] need to know while I'm still [G] standing, you just [D] fade away

PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know [Dm] I'm still standing, better than I [Am7] ever did
Lookin' like a [Gm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^[Bb] little kid [C]
[Dm] I'm still standing, after [Am7] all this time
Pickin' up the [Gm] pieces of my life without you [Am7] on my mind

CHORUS:
^[Bb] I'm ^[C] still [Dm] standing, [Gm7] yeah, yeah, [A7] yeah
^[Bb] I'm ^[C] still [Dm] standing, [Gm7] yeah, yeah, [A7] yeah

VERSE 3:
[D] Once I never could've [G/D] hope to win
You [A/D] starting down the road leaving [D] me again
The [Em7/D] threats you made were meant to cut me [A] down
And if our [Bm] love was just a [G] circus, you'd be a [D] clown by now
