I'm A Survivor

• D/F#

( you can substitute the "D/F#" for "Bm" 
  just sounds better using the "D/F#" because it 
  carries the 'F#" bass note) 
 
Intro - Em7 - D - D/F# - G 
 
 
 
(verse 1) 
      Em7           D 
I was born 3 months too early,  
     D/F#              G 
The doctor gave me 30 days, 
      Em7          D 
But I must have had my mama's will,  
    D/F#           G 
And God's amazing grace,  
   Em7                D 
I guess I'll keep on livin,  
    D/F#               G 
Even if this love's to die for,  
         C 
Cuz your bags are packed,  
 
And I ain't cryin,  
      Bm 
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin,  
     Bb 
To change your mind, 
                  A 
Cuz I was born to be,  
 
     G 
The baby girl without a chance,  
    Bm 
A victim of circumstance,  
    Em7                Bm 
The one who oughta give up,  
               G           A 
But she's just too hard headed,  
    G 
A single mom, who works 2 jobs, 
     Bm 
Who loves her kids and never stops,  
     Em7 
With gentle hands,  
         Bm          G 
And the heart of a fighter,  
A             Em7 - D - D/F# - G = 2x's 
I'm a survivor,  
 
 
(verse 2) 
           Em7           D 
I don't believe in self pity, 
   D/F#              G 
It only brings you down,  
            Em7              D 
May be the queen of broken hearts,  
            D/F#              G 
But I don't hide behind the crown,  
         Em7                D 
When the deck is stacked against me,  
       D/F#               G 
I just play a different game,  
    C 
My roots are planted in the past,  
      Bm 
And though my life is changing fast,  
Bb                      A 
Who I am is who I wanna be,  
 
     G 
The baby girl without a chance,  
    Bm 
A victim of circumstance,  
    Em7                Bm 
The one who oughta give up,  
               G           A 
But she's just too hard headed,  
    G 
A single mom, who works 2 jobs, 
     Bm 
Who loves her kids and never stops,  
     Em7 
With gentle hands,  
         Bm          G 
And the heart of a fighter,  
A             Em7 - D - D/F# - G = 2x's 
I'm a survivor,  
 
 
(lead chords - G - Bm - Em7 - Bm - G - A) 
 
 
    G 
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,

Who loves her kids and never stops,

With gentle hands,  
         Bm          G 
And the heart of a fighter,  
A             Em7 - D - D/F# - G 
I'm a survivor,  
       Em7              D 
But I must have had my mama's will, 
    D/F#           G 
And God's amazing grace, 
(I'm a survivor)
