I Surrender chords by Colleen Dagostino

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:

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

Hook:

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


Chorus:

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


Verse 2:

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


Hook:

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



Chorus:

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


Whoa...


Chorus:

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