        D
Had a great seven-year, white-knuckle ride
Killin' time, flyin' high, as I held on tight
    C
To you, to you
         D
Did I blow my mind on the wild side?
Singin' "Hallelujah" to 'em every night
      C
With you, with you

                   G
And I'm not gonna lie, say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been livin' upside down

Chorus:
            G
What can I say? I'm survivin'
          C
Crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
            G
What can I say? I'm survivin'
         C
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine

Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
My love, my love
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da

Like a thunder cloud in November rain
Is the black dog out, runnin' wild again
For you, for you?
Tryna stream my way to a better life
But I daydream crash like Vanilla Sky
Do you? Do you?

'Cause I'm not gonna lie and say I've been alright
'Cause it feels like I've been livin' upside down

Chorus:
What can I say? I'm survivin'
Crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
What can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine

Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
My love, my love
Ooh, yeah
Ba-da-da-da-da-da
Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da

Chorus:
So what can I say? I'm survivin'
Just crawlin' out these sheets to see another day
Oh, what can I say? I'm survivin'
And I'm gonna be fine, I'm gonna be fine
I think I'll be fine
