Alan Cox - Survivor

      [Verse 1]
Fm                 Db             Ab
      I fought my battles in the rain yesterday
Fm                  Db          Ab
      I fought the lions in my cage
Fm               Db            Ab
      But do you see me lying down in defeat
Fm        Db          Ab
      No, no, no you don’t
Fm             Db            Ab
      Have you ever wondered why people don’t give up
Fm             Db            Ab
      Have you ever seen me cry when the storm won’t let up
Fm             Db          Ab
      Does it ever make a difference whether or not
            Fm           Db          Ab
      They know that the war is not lost

[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                 Db                    Ab
      So when the storms of life try to take me over
Fm             Db             Ab
      You can tell them that I said

[Chorus]
   N.C.                  Ab       Db2       Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
                        Ab        Db2   Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man

[Verse 2]
Fm                    Db                Ab                     Fm          Db                         Ab
      When the current tried to sweep me away I said, “God please hold me firm”
Fm                  Db                 Ab            Fm   Db                   Ab
      When the waters tried to cover me     I wasn’t about to drown

[Pre-Chorus]
Fm                 Db                    Ab
      So when the storms of life try to take me over
Fm             Db             Ab
      You can tell them that I said

[Chorus]
   N.C.                  Ab       Db2       Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
                        Ab        Db2   Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man

[Bridge]
Db2     Db                    Eb
I know I’ve been knocked down onto my face
Fm
Slammed down onto the ground
    Db             Eb
And in my lowest points
           Fm
You could hear me crying out
     Db             Eb                 Ab
But then God said, “Son, it’s not over yet”

[Chorus 2]
 Ab                     Fm        Db2       Ab
Tell them that I’m a survivor, a fighter, alive
                        Fm        Db2       Ab
And I’m ready to face tomorrow, a new man
