[Intro]
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
[Verse 1]
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Only the strong survive
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Only the strong survive
G to Em walkdown/up/down Em walkdown
Only the wrong, re-live their lives
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
We've been here a thousand times
[Verse 2]
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Wish I could go back and find
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Letters I wrote you in my mind
G to Em walkdown/up/down Em walkdown
Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
Most I have forgot, or over-refined
[Verse 3]
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Love is a sickness cured by time
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Love is a sickness cured by time
G to Em walkdown/up/down Em walkdown
Bruises all end up benign
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
Love is a sickness cured by time
[Chorus]
Em C
I hope that you can change my mind
Em C
Had to leave this crying all behind
Em C
I hope you don't think that I'm unkind
G to Em walkdown
Just somebody told me
G to Em walkdown
Only and only
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
Only the strong will survive
[versy/chorus bit]
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Only the strong survive
G to Em walkdown
And I won't write a woman
Em walk up to G (6th str - 0 2 3)
With a man on my mind
Em D/F# G Am7/G
Hope that didn't sound too unkind
Em (alternating bass on 6th str – 3 2 3 2 etc)
Just struggling to figure out how
Em (alternating bass on 6th str – 3 2 3 2 etc)
Only, only, only, only
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G
Only the strong can survive
[chorus – as above]
Em C
I hope that you can change my mind
Em C
Had to leave this crying all behind
Em C
I hope you don't think that I'm unkind
G to Em walkdown
Just somebody told me
G to Em walkdown
Only and only
Em D/F# G Am7/G G Am7/G G Am7/G G Am7/G
Only the strong can survive
