INTRO

[spoken-] I remember my first love affair
Somehow or another the whole darn thing went wrong
My mamma had some great advice
So I thought I'd put it into words of this song
I can still hear her sayin' it


VERSE
G#                     C#/G#
Boy, oh, I see you're sittin' out there all alone
A#m/G#                                         G#
Cryin' your eyes out 'cos the woman that you love has gone
                  G#                                   C#/G#
Oh, there's gonna be, there's gonna be a whole lot of trouble in your life
       A#m/G#                                    G#
Oh, so listen to me get up off your knees 'cos only the strong survive
                 G#
That's what she said, only the strong survive


CHORUS
         A#m/G#
Only the strong survive,
          A#m        Cm            C#           D#
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on


VERSE      
      G#                       C#/G#
Don't go all around with your head hung down
     A#m/G# 
Well I wouldn't let that little girl, no, I wouldn't let her know 
                 G#
That she made me feel like a clown
          G#                               C#/G#
There's a whole lot a girls lookin' for a good man like you
       A#m/G# 
Oh but you'll never meet 'em if you give up now 
             G#
And say your life is through


CHORUS
                       G#                        A#m/G#
Yes she said- Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
       A#m          Cm          C#             D#
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand


INTERLUDE
| G# | % | C#/G# | % | A#m/G# | % | G# | % |
Boy, boy, oh boy


CHORUS (outro)
         G#                        A#m/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
          A#m        Cm            C#           D#
Oh you've got to be strong, you'd better hold on
     G#
'Cos only the strong survive
         G#                        A#m/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive,
       A#m          Cm          C#             D#
You've got to be a man, you've got to take a stand
         G#                        C#/G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
         A#m/G#                     G#
Only the strong survive, only the strong survive
