I Surrender

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 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 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 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 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 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... 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
