Surrendering Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]You were full and [Em]fully capable
[D]You were self suffi
[Em]cient and need[D]less
Your house was [Em]fully decor
[D]ated in that [Em]sense[D]
You were taken with me to a point
A case of careful what you wish for
But what you knew was

[Verse 2]
enough to begin
[D]
And so you called and courted fiercely
So you reached out, entirely fearless
And yet you knew of reservation
and [A]how it [D]serves

[Verse 3]
[D]
And I [G]salute you for your cour[A]age
And I [G]applaud your persever[A]ance
And I [G]embrace you for your faith
[A]In the face of [G]adversari
[A]al forces that I represent
[D]

[Verse 4]
So you were in but not entirely
You were up for this but not totally
[C]You kne[D]w how arms length-

[Verse 5]
ing can maintain doubt
[D]
And so you fell and you're intact
So you [C]dove [D]in and you're
still breathing
[A]And so you [D]jumped and you're
still flying [A]if not [D]shocked

[Verse 6]
[D]
And I [G]support you in your trust[A]ing
And [G]I commend you for [A]your wisdom
And I'm [G]amazed by your sur[A]render
In the face [G]of threatening
[A]forces that I represent
[D]

[Verse 7]
You found creative ways to distance
You hid away from much through humor

[Verse 8]
Your choice of armor was your intellect
[D]
And so you felt and you're still here
And so you died and you're still standing
And so you softened and

[Verse 9]
still safely in command
[D]
And [A]I sal[D]ute y[G]ou for your courage[A]
And I [G]applaud your persever[A]ance
And I [G]embrace you for your faith
[A]In the face of [G]adversari
[A]al forces that I represent
[D]

[Verse 10]
[C]Self- protection was in
[G]times [Bm]of true [G]danger
[C]Your best defense to [D]mis
[Bm]trust and be [G]wary
[Am]Surrendering a feat of
[G]unequalled measure
And I'm [D]thrilled to let you in
Overjoyed to be let in in kind

[Verse 11]
And I [G]salute you for your cour[A]age
And [G]I commend you for your wis[A]dom
And I [G]embrace you for your [A]faith in
the face [G]of adversari[A]al forces
And I [G]support you in your trust[A]ing
And I [G]applaud your persever[A]ance
And I'm [G]amazed by your sur[A]render
In the face [G]of threatening
[A]forces that I represent
[D]

[Verse 12]
Oh, ooh, oh, ooh
[D]
