INTRO:
[Fm] [Bbm/F] [C/F] ^
[Db/F] ^
[Eb/F] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[F] You could never know
[Bb/F] what it's like
Your
[C/F] blood like winter freezes
[F] just like ice
And there's a
[Gm7/F] cold lonely light that shines from
[C] you
You'll
[Dm] wind up like the wreck you
[Bb] hide, behind that
[F] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[F] And did you think this fool could
[Bb/F] never win
Well,
[C/F] look at me I'm comin'
[F] back again
I got a
[Gm7/F] taste of love in a simple
[C] way
and if you
[Dm] need to know while I'm still
[Bb] standing, you just
[F] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Fm] I'm still standing, better than I
[Cm7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Bbm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[Db] little kid
[Eb]
[Fm] I'm still standing, after
[Cm7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Bbm] pieces of my life without you
[Cm7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[Db] I'm ^
[Eb] still
[Fm] standing,
[Bbm7] yeah, yeah,
[C7] yeah
^
[Db] I'm ^
[Eb] still
[Fm] standing,
[Bbm7] yeah, yeah,
[C7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[F] Once I never could've
[Bb/F] hope to win
You
[C/F] starting down the road leaving
[F] me again
The
[Gm7/F] threats you made were meant to cut me
[C] down
And if our
[Dm] love was just a
[Bb] circus, you'd be a
[F] clown by now
