Capo: 3rd fret

[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     Em                                   Em 
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     Em                                                   Em 
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     Em                              Em 
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     Em    
Just somebody told me
 G     Em        
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     Em  
And I won't write a woman
 Em                     G
With a man on my mind
 Em               D/F#       G    Am7/G
Hope that didn't sound too unkind
 Em
Just struggling to figure out how
 Em 
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     Em    
Just somebody told me
 G     Em   
Only and only
  Em        D/F#        G     Am7/G  G  Am7/G  G  Am7/G  G  Am7/G
Only the strong can survive
              Only the strong survive
Only the strong survive
Only the wrong relive their lives
We've been here a thousand times

Wish I could go back and find
Letters I wrote you in my mind
Perhaps I could unknot us from this awful bind

Most I have forgot are all very fine
Love is a sickness cured by time
Love is a sickness cured by time
Bruises all end up benign
Love is a sickness cured by time

I hope that you can change my mind
Had to leave this crying all behind
I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind
So somebody told me, only and only
Only the strong will survive

Only the strong survive
And I won't write a woman with a man on my mind
Hope that didn't sound too unkind

Just struggling to figure out how only, only
Only, only
Only the strong can survive
Hope that you can change my mind
I had to leave this crying all behind
I hope that you don't think that I'm unkind
It's just somebody told me only and only
Only the strong can survive
