Verse 1
(E minor) (D major) I remember,
I remember my first love affair
(E minor) Somehow or the whole
darn thing was wrong
My mother gave me some red advice
So I thought I'd take it and put
it in the words (D major) of this song
I can still hear the lady saying in my mind
(E minor) Boy, (D major) boy, boy
Oh, I see you sitting out there all (E minor) alone
Crying your eyes out
Cause the woman that you love (D major) is gone
Life's (B minor) gonna be so (D major) long
Oh, a lot of trouble in (E minor) your life
Oh, a lot of trouble
Hey, (D major) (E minor) but listen to me,
get up off your knees
Cause only the strong (D major) survive
That's what you said, you said
Only the strong survive
Only the strong sur (E minor) vive (G major)
(D major) Hey, (E minor) you it strong, (F sharp minor) you bet (G major) ter hold on
(A major) Don't (D major) go, don't go
Oh, around with your head (E minor) hung down
You see, I wouldn't let
the little girl know
Wouldn't let her know that you made
me feel (D major) like a clown
Cause there (B minor) are a whole (D major) lot of girls
Looking for a good man like (E minor) you
Hey, but you'll never meet
him if you (E major) give up (E minor) now
And say life is a (D major) little easy
Only the (E minor) strong (D major) survive
Only the strong sur (E minor) vive (G major)
(D major) Hey, you (E minor) gotta be strong (F sharp minor)
You (G major) gotta hold on, (A major) yeah (D major) (E minor) (D major)
So I'm telling you right now,
only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
(E minor) (G major) (Asus4) Yeah, (D major) you (E minor) gotta be strong,
(F sharp minor) so you (G major) gotta hold on (A major)
(D major) I don't want you to feel like,
like you (B minor) can't make (D major) (E minor) it, baby
(G major) Hey, (D major) just (E minor) try to be a man
(F sharp minor) Try (G major) to take a stand
(A major) When (D major) everybody around you,
Are losing their heads and blaming it on (E minor) you
(G major) Oh, (B minor) don't (E minor) lose your soul (F sharp minor)
Don't (G major) lose con (A major) trol of yourself
(D major) I want you to keep on believing
You can make it if you try, baby (E minor)
(G major) Hey, (D major) but (E minor) you gotta be strong
(F sharp minor) Say you (G major) gotta hold on
(A major) Every (D major) now and then you can hear
Sly singing
But I wanna take you higher
to (E minor) the ground (G major)
Oh, (E minor) see (D major) the vision's (E minor) starting to talk
(F sharp minor) The (G major) time's about (A major) to fall
Higher (D major) , I do believe
That I wanna take (B minor) you higher (D major) ,
baby (E minor) (G major)
Hey, (A major) re (D major) member (E minor) I love you
(F sharp minor) And I (G major) think the way I love (A major) you
Only (D major) the strong, baby
The strong survive
