Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E MajorE A augmentedA D MajorD G+G BB E MajorE)

Verse 1:

    E MajorE
Growing up in California
    C# minorC#m
In the land of broken dreams
    G# minorG#m                BB
Always reaching, always stuck here in between
     E MajorE                  C# minorC#m
Where the sunset shines like diamonds and the future looks so dark
     G# minorG#m                     BB
And the streets are filled with cold and lonely hearts

Hook:

      E MajorE            C# minorC#m
And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home
      G# minorG#m              BB
And all the plastic smiles hide what it's like to feel alone
   E MajorE
And I know I'm not without sin
      C# minorC#m
Played my part in make-believe
    G# minorG#m
Coming out from underneath
  BB
And I want to be washed clean


Chorus:

  E MajorE
I surrender
             C# minorC#m
To this feeling; to this heart within my chest
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
           BB
To the real me I've kept hidden from the rest
     E MajorE              C# minorC#m
And I've peeled every layer until the truth is all that's left
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
  BB
I surrender
   E MajorE
I surrender

Verse 2:

    E MajorE
Passing all the pretty faces
    C# minorC#m
On the corner of our streets
    G# minorG#m            BB
Crowded places where nobody ever leaves
     E MajorE
Where the air is hot and heavy
     C# minorC#m
Like the secrets of our youth
     G# minorG#m               BB
Always play it cool so no one knows the truth


Hook:

      E MajorE            C# minorC#m
And all the hometown heroes make up stories to send home
      G# minorG#m              BB
And all the plastic smiles hide what it's like to feel alone
   E MajorE
And I know I'm not without sin
      C# minorC#m
Played my part in make-believe
    G# minorG#m
Coming out from underneath
  BB
And I want to be washed clean


Chorus:

  E MajorE
I surrender
             C# minorC#m
To this feeling; to this heart within my chest
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
           BB
To the real me I've kept hidden from the rest
     E MajorE              C# minorC#m
And I've peeled every layer until the truth is all that's left
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
  BB
I surrender
   E MajorE
I surrender


Whoa...


Chorus:

   E MajorE
I surrender
             C# minorC#m
To this feeling; to this heart within my chest
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
           BB
To the real me I've kept hidden from the rest
     E MajorE              C# minorC#m
And I've peeled every layer until the truth is all that's left
  G# minorG#m
I surrender
  BB
I surrender
   E MajorE
I surrender
