Surrender
[Intro]
D G
[Verse 1]
D C
When the day began And you opened up your eyes
G F D
No, you didn’t recognize What you were seeing
D C
Then it all came back You remembered where you’ve been
G F D
Well, it never seems to end And you’re still running
F G
Will you ever change your mind
Bb C
You’re almost out of time
[Chorus]
D Bb
You better give up, gotta stop running
C Bb C
It’s the end of the line, It’s time to surrender
D Bb
Hands up, Turn it around
C Bb C D
Fall to the ground, Are you gonna surrender
[Verse 2]
D C
Now the day is done, And you want to close your eyes
G F D
And pretend that you are fine But you’d be lying
D C
And you want it back The life that you once had
G F D
‘Cause inside you find That you are slowly dying
F G
Will you ever change your mind
Bb C
You’re almost out of time
[Chorus]

You better give up, gotta stop running
C Bb C
It’s the end of the line, It’s time to surrender

Hands up, Turn it around

Fall to the ground, Are you gonna surrender
[Chorus]

You better give up, gotta stop running
