Intro -x2-: Bbm  Ebm  F  Gb  Ab

Verse 1:
Bb                 Eb
You could never know what it's like
       F                          Bb
Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
               Gm                       Eb         F
And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you
       Gm                         Eb                 Bb
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use

Verse 2:
Bb                                   Eb
And did you think this fool could never win?
       F                        Bb
Well look at me, I'm a-coming back again
         Gm                 Eb     F
I got a taste of love in a simple way
           Gm                           Eb
And if you need to know while I'm still standing
          Bb
You just fade away

Chorus:
                Bbm                               Fm
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever did?
                Ebm                              Gb      Ab
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid
    Bbm                       Fm
And I'm still standing after all this time
                 Ebm                          F
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
     Bbm              Ebm          F
I'm still standing -yeah, yeah, yeah-
     Bbm              Ebm          F
I'm still standing -yeah, yeah, yeah-

Verse 3:
Bb                      Eb
Once, I never coulda hoped to win
       F                            Bb
You starting down the road, leaving me again
      Gm                          Eb        F
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
            Gm              Eb                  Bb
And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now

Chorus:
         Bbm                               Fm
You know I'm still standing better than I ever did?

Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind
     Bbm              Ebm          F
