Chord/Tab song: I Surrender

Released: 2013

Notes:

SUPER IMPORTANT: Many of the chords are ANTICIPATED, meaning the transition is sooner
than you think it is. I tried to space it out appropriately throughout the text. Trust me,
listen to the recording.

This is the way it's played on the recording, at least from what I can tell. Feel free
to substitute all power chords for standard full chords or vice versa. Have a nice day :^)

Intro: C-G-Em-D C-G-Em-D C-G-Em-D D-D-D-D

You've got [G]secrets, yeah,
And I've got[Em] a weakness for them.
D D
No this ain't the time or place to show your face,
C
Cause you know that I can't stand
The need to get [G]even. Tonight,
When everything y[Em]a say won't come out right.
D D
So I'll try to save some face, and take my space
Till the t[C]imes right, [D]cause we'll need it.

[C] [G]So I [Em]surre[D]nder[C], [G]I can't [Em]forget[D] her.
[C] [G]Will you re[Em]mem[D]ber? The[C] truth,
D (opt. C to fill space)
Cause they won't even want me to.

From here on out we are in power chord land, but you can continue to play the full
chords
Wish you would r[G5]ead this, yeah,
And knew that I[E5] mean it. I did.
Yeah I could fill [D5]every page with all my ways
That I [C5]tried to understand.
Wished things could be [G5]different. Alright,
Well it ain't for the[E5] lack of how I tried.
So let's go our s[D5]eparate ways, and count the days
C5 D5 |stop
As we get by. Cause we'll get by.

[C5] [G5]So I [E5]surre[D5]nder[C5], [G5]I can't fo[E5]rget [D5]her.
[C5] W[G5]ill you re[E5]mem[D5]ber? The [C5]truth,
D5 (hit once before they, crescendo after "they")
Cause they won't even want me to.

[C5] [G5]So I [E5]surre[D5]nder[C5], [G5]I can't f[E5]orget [D5]her.
[C5] W[G5]ill you re[E5]mem[D5]ber? The [C5]truth[D5]

This'll drag [G5]on and on and on,
Where I'm the[E5] only one who's wrong.
It's always [D5]something, it's always something
With me and [C5]you.[D5]

This'll drag [G5]on and on and on,
Where I'm the[E5] only one who's wrong.
It's always [D5]something, it's always something
With me and [C5]you.[D5]

This part is kinda funky on one guitar, do it however you want to! You can just play
the chorus chords, but here's the little picking part
