Key: :[Abm] (w: Elton John, Bernie Taupin) (BPM: 180)
INTRO:
[Abm] [Dbm/Ab] [D#/Ab] ^
[E/Ab] ^
[Gb/Ab] :
[x2]
VERSE 1:
[Ab] You could never know
[Db/Ab] what it's like
Your
[D#/Ab] blood like winter freezes
[Ab] just like ice
And there's a
[A#m7/Ab] cold lonely light that shines from
[D#] you
You'll
[Fm] wind up like the wreck you
[Db] hide, behind that
[Ab] mask you use
VERSE 2:
[Ab] And did you think this fool could
[Db/Ab] never win
Well,
[D#/Ab] look at me I'm comin'
[Ab] back again
I got a
[A#m7/Ab] taste of love in a simple
[D#] way
and if you
[Fm] need to know while I'm still
[Db] standing, you just
[Ab] fade away
PRE-CHORUS:
Don't you know
[Abm] I'm still standing, better than I
[D#m7] ever did
Lookin' like a
[Dbm] true survivor, feelin' like a ^
[E] little kid
[Gb]
[Abm] I'm still standing, after
[D#m7] all this time
Pickin' up the
[Dbm] pieces of my life without you
[D#m7] on my mind
CHORUS:
^
[E] I'm ^
[Gb] still
[Abm] standing,
[Dbm7] yeah, yeah,
[D#7] yeah
^
[E] I'm ^
[Gb] still
[Abm] standing,
[Dbm7] yeah, yeah,
[D#7] yeah
VERSE 3:
[Ab] Once I never could've
[Db/Ab] hope to win
You
[D#/Ab] starting down the road leaving
[Ab] me again
The
[A#m7/Ab] threats you made were meant to cut me
[D#] down
And if our
[Fm] love was just a
[Db] circus, you'd be a
[Ab] clown by now
