Reba McEntire - I'm a survivor


( you can substitute the "D/F#" for "Bm"
  just sounds better using the "D/F#" because it
  carries the 'F#" bass note)

Intro - Em7 - D - D/F# - G



(verse 1)
      Em7           D
I was born 3 months too early, 
     D/F#              G
The doctor gave me 30 days,
      Em7          D
But I must have had my mama's will, 
    D/F#           G
And God's amazing grace, 
   Em7                D
I guess I'll keep on livin, 
    D/F#               G
Even if this love's to die for, 
         C
Cuz your bags are packed, 

And I ain't cryin, 
      Bm
Your walkin out and I'm not tryin, 
     Bb
To change your mind,
                  A
Cuz I was born to be, 


(chorus)
     G
The baby girl without a chance, 
    Bm
A victim of circumstance, 
    Em7                Bm
The one who oughta give up, 
               G           A
But she's just too hard headed, 
    G
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,
     Bm
Who loves her kids and never stops, 
     Em7
With gentle hands, 
         Bm          G
And the heart of a fighter, 
A             Em7 - D - D/F# - G = 2x's
I'm a survivor, 


(verse 2)
           Em7           D
I don't believe in self pity,
   D/F#              G
It only brings you down, 
            Em7              D
May be the queen of broken hearts, 
            D/F#              G
But I don't hide behind the crown, 
         Em7                D
When the deck is stacked against me, 
       D/F#               G
I just play a different game, 
    C
My roots are planted in the past, 
      Bm
And though my life is changing fast, 
Bb                      A
Who I am is who I wanna be, 


(chorus)
     G
The baby girl without a chance, 
    Bm
A victim of circumstance, 
    Em7                Bm
The one who oughta give up, 
               G           A
But she's just too hard headed, 
    G
A single mom, who works 2 jobs,
     Bm
Who loves her kids and never stops, 
     Em7
With gentle hands, 
         Bm          G
And the heart of a fighter, 
A             Em7 - D - D/F# - G = 2x's
I'm a survivor,
