A D E

The city's alight

D A

With lovers and lies

D E

Bright blue eyes

D A

The city is bright

D E

It's brighter than day tonight

(Riff A)

Surrender

A D E A

Surrender

A D

Sadie said she couldn't

E D

Work out what it was all about

A

And so she let go

D E D

Now Sadie's on the street

A

And the people she meets you know

D

She tried to be a good girl

And a good wife

E

Raise a good family

D

Lead a good life

A

It's not good enough

D E

She got herself up on the 48th floor

D

Got to find out, find out

A

What she's living for

(Riff A)

Surrender

(Solo)

Tonight

Oh, the city's a fire

A passionate flame

Which knows me by name

The city's desire

To take me for more and more

It's in the street getting under my feet

It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you

It's in the things I do and say

And if I want to live

I've got to die to myself someday

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

Papa sing my sing my sing my song

Surrender
