                 A         D           E         A      A/E
They say I'm somebody so I try to live up to the name

        A             A       D            E           A      A
But I'm just not that good at dealin' with fortune and fame

D            D/A    D           D         A      A/E
I've made mistakes, more than I care to recall

    A           A        D          E        A      A/E
But one way or another I always get over the fall
[Chorus]
A        A      D            A      A/E
I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues

            A            A/E             A             E      E
I wrote the book on hard knocks and I've bathed in the blues

A             A              D           A      A/E
I've been the feature on the six o'clock news

      A        A      E           A      F#
Yeah, I'm a survivor, dancin' the blues
[Verse 2]
B             B               E          F#              B      B/F#
Sometimes I'd wonder how I've managed to live through it all

     B            B           E              F#          B      B
Yes, I've spent a lifetime of living with my back to the wall

    E            E/B       E           E          B      B/F#
The records will show that I've had my share of regrets

       B           B             E               F#         B      B/F#
But as long as I'm breathing you ain't heard the last of me yet
[Chorus]
B        B      E            B      B/F#
I'm a survivor, I've paid my dues

B        B/F#          B           F#      F#
Doing my best with the hand that I drew

     B           B            E          B      B/F#
Just playing the part, Lord I couldn't refuse

      B        B     F#           B      B/F#
Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose

      B        B     F#           B
Yeah, I'm a survivor win, draw or lose
