Elton John    (midi)

Am - Dm - E F-G (2x)

A D

1. You could never know what it's like,

E A

your blood like winter freezes just like ice.

F#m D E

And there's a cold lonely light that shines from you,

F#m D A

you'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use.

A D

2. And did you think this fool could never win?

E A

Well, look at me, I'm coming back again !

F#m D E

I got a taste of love in a simple way,

F#m D A

and if you need to know while I'm still standing you just fade away.

Am Em

Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,

Dm F - G

looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.

Am Em

I'm still standing after all this time,

Dm E

picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

Am Dm E

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

Am Dm E

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

F-G-A D

3. Once I never could hope to win.

E A

you starting down the road, leaving me again.

F#m D E

The threats you made were meant to cut me down,

F#m D A

and if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now.

Am Em

Don't you know, I'm still standing better than I ever did,

Dm F - G

looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid.

Am Em

I'm still standing after all this time,

Dm E

picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind.

Am Dm E

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

Am Dm E

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah!

(+ Instrumental = verse 3 =)

A - D E - A F#m - D - E F#m - D - A

+ CHORUS

Am Dm E

I'm still standing, yeah yeah yeah! (repeat and fade…)
