(C)        G 
You've got secrets, oh yeah, 
               Em 
And I've got a weakness for them. 
                  D 
No this ain't the time or place to show your face, 
          C 
Cause you know that I can't stand 
 
                G 
The need to get even. Tonight, 
 
                   Em 
When everything ya say won't come out right. 
               D 
So I'll try to save some face, and take my space 
         C            D 
Till the times right, cause we'll need it. 
 
 
C       D   Em 
So I surrender,  
C       D      Em 
I can't forget her. 
C          D    Em     C    G 
Will you remember? The truth, 
      D 
Cause they won't even want me to. 
 
 
 
(C)            G 
Wish you would read this, oh yeah, 
                Em 
And knew that I mean it. I did. 
                  D 
Yeah I could fill every page with all my ways 
        C 
That I tried to understand. 
 
                       G 
Wished things could be different. Alright, 
                      Em 
Well it ain't for the lack of how I tried. 
                D 
So let's go our separate ways, and count the days 
          C   D 
As we get by. Cause we'll get by. 
 
C       D   Em 
So I surrender,  
C          D   Em 
I can't forget her. 
C          D    Em     C    G 
Will you remember? The truth, 
      D 
Cause they won't even want me to. 
 
 
C       D   Em 
So I surrender,  
C          D   Em 
I can't forget her. 
C          D    Em     C     
Will you remember? The truth... 
 
             G 
This'll drag on and on and on, 
              Em 
Where I'm the only one who's wrong. 
                D 
It's always something, it's always something 
            C 
With me and you. 
x2 
 
 
So I surrender 
So I surrender 
 
C       D   Em 
So I surrender,  
C          D   Em 
I can't forget her. 
C          D    Em     C    G 
Will you remember? The truth, 
      D 
Cause they won't even want me to. 
 
 
They won't even want me to (I, I surrender) 
They won't even want me to (I, I surrender) 
(I, I surrender) 
So I surrender.
