[Intro]
Em    Am/E    B/E      C/E D/E
Em    Am/E    B/E      C/E D/E


[Verse 1]
E                             A/E
You could never know what it's like.
        B/E                    E
Your blood like winter freezes just like ice.
              F#m7/E                  A/E      B
And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you.
        C#m                       A               E   F#m/E E
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you  use.
E                                A/E
And did you think this fool could never win?
       B/E                 E
Well look at me, I'm coming back again.
        F#m7/E             A/E  B
I got a taste of love in a simple way.
           C#m                          A                  E F#m7/E E
And if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade a  -  way.


[Chorus]
               Em7      Em                    Bm/D
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did.
               Am7                           Cmaj7     D
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.
Em7       Em           Bm/D
I'm still standing after all this time.
                 Am7                        B7
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.
            Em        Am7 Am7 B7
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!
            Em        Am7 Am7 B7         C/B   D/B
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!


[Verse 2]
E                         A/E
Once I never could hope to win.
       B/E                        E
You starting down the road leaving me again.
      F#m7/E                       A/E    B
The threats you made were meant to cut me down.
           C#m              A                E  F#m7/E E
And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown  by now.


[Chorus]
                Em7      Em                   Bm/D
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did.
               Am7                           Cmaj7     D
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.
Em7      Em            Bm/D
I'm still standing after all this time.
                Am7                         B7 B7 B7
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.
            Em       Am7 Am7 B7
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!
            Em       Am7 Am7 B7          C/B   D/B
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!

[Chorus/Outro]
                Em7     Em                    Bm/D
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did.
               Am7                           Cmaj7     D
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.
Em7      Em            Bm/D
I'm still standing after all this time.
                      Am7                   B7 B7 B7
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.
            Em      Am7 Am7  B7
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!
            Em      Am7 Am7 B7
I'm still standing.  Yeah yeah yeah!
