Guitar chords with lyrics

Intro:

Am  C  Am  C  F  Am  F  Dm



Verse 1:
Am     C         F                   Am           Dm               Am               G     F
  Heat lightning running outside the window, i’ve laid awake since 1:00 and now it’s 4 o’clock
       Am   C              F             Am
Though I’ve held on, can’t carry it much longer
Dm             Am                G                     F
On the ceiling dancing are the things all come and gone

Chorus:
              Dm          C     F              C
And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
      G            Am     F         Am
So I give it up to you
I hope that’s okay
        Dm            C       F          C         G             Am        F
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change, i give it up to you
I surrender

Verse 2:
Am     C          F                Am
  Heat lightning, watch it from my doorstep
Dm              Am          G             F
Sleeping eyelid of the sky flutters in a dream
      Am   C             F            Am
Well
I’ve held on, but feel a storm approaching
Dm        Am                       G         F
Trees are swaying in the wind like sea anemones

Chorus:
              Dm          C      F             C
And there’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
       G            Am   F              Am
Can I give it up to you? Would that be okay?
          Dm          C       F          C
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
  G             Am        F
I give it up to you
I surrender
          Dm           C     F             C
There’s nothing I can do, not much I can change
  G             Am        F
I give it up to you
I surrender
