Verse

!A Bm7/E !A Bm7/E !

Baby I’m through Running, it’s true

!A Bm7/E !F#m A7 !

I’d be a fool To try to escape you

!D E !D E !

Maybe I’m beat Oh, but that sweet surrender

You keep your rights, I’ll take your nights.

No one can lose when we turn the lights out

Tasting defeat, loving that sweet……

Into Bridge

!F#m !F#m !

Surrender

Bridge

!D E/D !A Bm7/E !

I’m giving up myself to you

!A/C# E !F#m !

But I didn’t really lose at all

!D E/D !A A7 !

I gained the only love I’ve known, and it never

!D E !D E !

Hurt me to fall

Verse 2

Now that it’s done, so glad you won

I know our lives have only begun now

No more retreat, only my sweet surrender
