Elton John, I'm Still Standing (1983)
Key: :[Gbm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Gbm] [Bm/Gb] [C#/Gb] ^
[D/Gb] ^
[E/Gb] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Gb] You could never know
[B/Gb] what it's like
Your
[C#/Gb] blood like winter freezes
[Gb] just like ice
And there's a
[G#m7/Gb] cold lonely light that shines from
[C#] you
You'll
[D#m] wind up like the wreck you
[B] hide, behind that
[Gb] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[Gb] And did you think this fool could
[B/Gb] never win
Well,
[C#/Gb] look at me I'm comin'
[Gb] back again
I got a
[G#m7/Gb] taste of love in a simple
[C#] way
and if you
[D#m] need to know while I'm still
[B] standing, you just
[Gb] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Gbm] I'm still standing, better than I
[C#m7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Bm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[D] little kid
[E]
[Gbm] I'm still standing, after
[C#m7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Bm] pieces of my life without you
[C#m7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[D] I'm ^
[E] still
[Gbm] standing,
[Bm7] yeah, yeah,
[C#7] yeah
^
[D] I'm ^
[E] still
[Gbm] standing,
[Bm7] yeah, yeah,
[C#7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[Gb] Once I never could've
[B/Gb] hope to win
You
[C#/Gb] starting down the road leaving
[Gb] me again
The
[G#m7/Gb] threats you made were meant to cut me
[C#] down
And if our
[D#m] love was just a
[B] circus, you'd be a
[Gb] clown by now
