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

And did you think this fool could never win?
Well look at me, I'm a-comin' back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standin'
You just fade away

Chorus:
               A#m                              Fm
Don't you know I'm still standing better than I ever
did?
                D#m
Looking like a true survivor, feeling like
   F#      G#
a little kid
    A#m                      Fm
And I'm still standing after all this time
                D#m                          F
Picking up the pieces of my life without you on
my mind
     A#m             D#m          F
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)
     A#m             D#m          F
I'm still standing (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Once, I never coulda hoped to win
You're startin' down the road, leavin' 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

Chorus:
You know I'm still standin' better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like
a little kid
And I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my
life without you on my mind

I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)

Chorus:
Don't you know that I'm still standin'
 better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin'
like a little kid
And I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my
life without you on my mind

I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)

I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (yeah, yeah, yeah)
