Surrender by The Smith Street Band

Tabs

This is definitely not correct, so don't complain about that.
For starters, in the vimeo vid for this song, I think Wil actually
plays in some variation of Chord diagramC majorC tuning. Also, the lyrics may not be
entirely correct.

Chord diagramC majorC
I'm not from here so I think with my mouth,
grew up a comfortable distance from where I live now,
Chord diagramFF                       Chord diagramC majorC
so grab me like the animals we were always supposed to be.
Chord diagramC majorC
From these terrace house jungles we'll swing from the rooftops,
                        Chord diagramFF
knowing nothing of the one-way streets far underneath our feet,
                        Chord diagramC majorC
There's a life outside these bottles, there's a life right here for me

Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramC majorC
But you don't have to surrender,
  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G
if you don't
Chord diagramFF            Chord diagramC majorC
But you don't have to surrender,
  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramC majorC (intro again)
if you don't want to

Chord diagramC majorC
And I'll sit quiet, if I have to go home,
listening to rubber, disturbed water, and whatever was on the radio,
       Chord diagramFF                          Chord diagramC majorC
we should be climbing chainlink fences with backpacks, nowhere to go.
    Chord diagramC majorC
and am I satisfied or did I just come to terms with the hunger,
Chord diagramFF                          Chord diagramC majorC
with me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger

But you don't have to surrender,
if you don't want to
  Chord diagramC majorC        Chord diagramFF      Chord diagramC majorC
You asked me if I'm drinking again,
Chord diagramFF           Chord diagramC majorC
you say it like it's a good thing
  Chord diagramFF          Chord diagramC majorC
But you don't have to surrender,
  Chord diagramG+G  Chord diagramG+G   Chord diagramFF
if you don't want to
      Chord diagramG+G
I've got my white flag with me here just for you

(intro again)

    Chord diagramC majorC
and the ease of repetition was filling my days,
and I was comfortably killing myself in a myriad of different ways,
  Chord diagramFF                         Chord diagramC majorC
