I'M A SURVIVOR



Composed by Micah



(Am)I sat down to a card game on the (Dm)day that I was born,

(E)No holds barred and my back against the (Am)wall,

The stranger playing against me, (Dm)he seemed to seldom smile,

And (E)only laughed if I won a hand at (Am)all



The funny part is that I never (Dm)fully saw his face,

(E)It made it hard to tell which way to (Am)play,

But I'd never been a poker face and (Dm)so he had an easy time,

(E)Whittling me down sad to (Am)say



Though I mostly sat alone, there on (Dm)his side were quite a few,

(E)Doubt and fear and hate were his good (Am)friends,

And he never played his cards wrong un(Dm)til the day I drew

The (Em)card that put his dark plan to an (Am)end



Chorus:

(G)I'm a sur(F)vivor, I was born to (Em)fall and (G)rise a(C)gain,

I'm a (F)relier, on a helping hand from an (G)old and (Em)trusted (C)Friend,

(F)I do what I (G)can and then I (E7)leave it in His (Am)ha(F)nd,

(C)That's the only (G)way a loser (C)wins



(Am)When I drew it out I clutched it hard and he (Dm)seemed to sense a change

And then I (E)folded all my others and in his (Am)eyes there burned a rage,

Then he pushed in all his winnings, and he threw his (Dm)last card death,

And his (E)friends began to mock and laugh and I just held my (Am)breath



As he reached to take his winnings is (Dm)when I said, "Hey, just wait!"

And I (E)stood up and showed my hold card and from death I walked a(Am)way



Chorus:

(C)I'm a sur(F)vivor, I was born to (Em)fall and (G)rise a(C)gain,

I'm a (F)relier, on a helping hand from an (Dm)old and (G)trusted (C)Friend,

(F)I do what I (G)can and then I (E7)leave it in His (Am/F)hand,

(C)That's the only (G)way a loser (C)wins



[Here comes the epilogue]

(Am)The card I drew was love, you know, (Dm)the love of God's own Son,

He (E)overcame death and hate and He's out-drawn every (Am)gun,

There's just one chance you've got to win in this (Dm)game of life we play,

Put (E)Jesus in your hand, my friend, He's this life's only (Am)ace



[Repeat Chorus Twice]



(C)That's the only way a (G)loser (C)wins...
