Survive (UK 1, 2025)     (video)

 

    G                            D                   Em                                    C

1.     How long 'til it feels like the wounds finally starting to heal ?

G                           D                   Em                                    C

    How long 'til it feels like I'm more than a spoke in a wheel ?

Em                            - C

    Most nights I feel        that I'm not enough,

G                                                      D

    I've had my share of Monday mornings where I can't get up,

Em                             - C                                   - D

    when hope is lost        and I come undone.

 

                                     G                      D

I swear to God I'll survive if it kills me to,

                                     Em                                C

I'm gonna get up and try if it's the last thing I do !

                                       G                                      D

I still got something to give though it hurts sometimes,

                                   Em                                  C   - Cm

I'm gonna get up and live until the day that I die.

                                     G

I swear to God I ll survive !

 

    G                                   D                Em                                     C

2.      How long 'til you know that, in truth, you know nothing at all ?

G                              D            Em                                  C

    How far will you go to get back to the place you belong ?

Em                              - C

    Most nights, I fear         that I'm not enough,

G                                             D

    but I refuse to spend my best years rotting in the sun,

Em                                  - C                                   - D

    so when hope is lost        and I come undone.

 

+ CHORUS   + D

 

                                       Em     - C - Cm

+  I swear to God I'll survive !                    + CHORUS
