Key: :[Ebm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Ebm] [Abm/Eb] [A#/Eb] ^
[B/Eb] ^
[Db/Eb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Eb] You could never know
[Ab/Eb] what it's like
Your
[A#/Eb] blood like winter freezes
[Eb] just like ice
And there's a
[Fm7/Eb] cold lonely light that shines from
[A#] you
You'll
[Cm] wind up like the wreck you
[Ab] hide, behind that
[Eb] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[Eb] And did you think this fool could
[Ab/Eb] never win
Well,
[A#/Eb] look at me I'm comin'
[Eb] back again
I got a
[Fm7/Eb] taste of love in a simple
[A#] way
and if you
[Cm] need to know while I'm still
[Ab] standing, you just
[Eb] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Ebm] I'm still standing, better than I
[A#m7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Abm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[B] little kid
[Db]
[Ebm] I'm still standing, after
[A#m7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Abm] pieces of my life without you
[A#m7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[B] I'm ^
[Db] still
[Ebm] standing,
[Abm7] yeah, yeah,
[A#7] yeah
^
[B] I'm ^
[Db] still
[Ebm] standing,
[Abm7] yeah, yeah,
[A#7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[Eb] Once I never could've
[Ab/Eb] hope to win
You
[A#/Eb] starting down the road leaving
[Eb] me again
The
[Fm7/Eb] threats you made were meant to cut me
[A#] down
And if our
[Cm] love was just a
[Ab] circus, you'd be a
[Eb] clown by now
