I’m Still Standing                                                             Elton John (1983)

 

Intro: Am   Dm/A   Em/A    Dm/A  G/A

 

A                 D/A

You could never know what it's like

    E                   A

Your blood like winter freezes just like ice

           Bm7/A           D/A           E

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

         F#m              D             A   Bm/A  A

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

 

(Same chords)

And did you think this fool could never win

Well look at me, I'm coming back again

I got a taste of love in a simple way

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

 

  Am7                Am                Em7

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

             Dm7                   FM7      G

    Looking like a true survivor, feeling like a little kid

     Am7 Am     Em7

    I'm still  standing after all this time

              Dm9       Dm7          E7

    Picking up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

 

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

I'm still standing yeah yeah yeah

 

Once I never could hope to win

You starting down the road leaving me again

The threats you made were meant to cut me down

And if our love was just a circus you'd be a clown by now
