Surrender

• C

This is definitely not correct, so don't complain about that. 
For starters, in the vimeo vid for this song, I think Wil actually 
plays in some variation of C tuning. Also, the lyrics may not be 
entirely correct. 






C 
I'm not from here so I think with my mouth, 
grew up a comfortable distance from where I live now, 
F                                             C 
so grab me like the animals we were always supposed to be. 
C 
From these terrace house jungles we'll swing from the rooftops, 
                                                F 
knowing nothing of the one-way streets far underneath our feet, 
                                                C 
There's a life outside these bottles, there's a life right here for me 

F                        C 
But you don't have to surrender, 
   G   G 
if you don't 
F                        C 
But you don't have to surrender, 
   G   G     C (intro again) 
if you don't want to 

C 
And I'll sit quiet, if I have to go home, 
listening to rubber, disturbed water, and whatever was on the radio, 
             F                                                    C 
we should be climbing chainlink fences with backpacks, nowhere to go. 
       C 
and am I satisfied or did I just come to terms with the hunger, 
F                                                   C 
with me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger 

But you don't have to surrender, 
if you don't want to 
    C               F           C 
You asked me if I'm drinking again, 
F                      C 
you say it like it's a good thing 
    F                    C 
But you don't have to surrender, 
   G   G     F 
if you don't want to 
            G 
I've got my white flag with me here just for you 

(intro again) 

        C 
and the ease of repetition was filling my days, 
and I was comfortably killing myself in a myriad of different ways, 
    F                                                  C 
and I'm not from around here, so I talk like I've been saved  
  
                    

     				
  
      			        
          	
          	

              
x
