Surrender

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
