[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
