Verse 1:
G                 D              Em                         C
 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

Pre-chorus 1:
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

Chorus:
                       G
I swear to God I'll survive
               D
If it kills me to
                     Em
I'm gonna get up and try
                         C
If it's the last thing I do
                         G
I still got something to give
                    D
Though it hurts sometimes
                     Em
I'm gonna get up and live
                     C
Until the day that I die
Cm                    G
  I swear to God I survive

Verse 2:
G                  D               Em                       C
 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?

Pre-chorus 2:
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:
                       G
I swear to God I'll survive
               D
If it kills me to
                     Em
I'm gonna get up and try
                         C
If it's the last thing I do
                         G
I still got something to give
                    D
Though it hurts sometimes
                     Em
I'm gonna get up and live
                     C
Until the day that I die
Cm                       G    D
  I swear to God I'll survive
                       Em   C Cm
I swear to God I'll survive

Chorus:
                       G
I swear to God I'll survive
               D
If it kills me to
                      Em
I'm gonna get up and try
                         C
If it's the last thing I do
                         G
I still got something to give
                    D
Though it hurts sometimes
                     Em
I'm gonna get up and live
                     C
Until the day that I die
Cm                       G
  I swear to God I'll survive
