Before Complete Surrender

A
I want to dive into your ocean
A E
But I'm afraid your waters are too deep
D A
And I'll fall with honest true devotion
E
Far from any shore that I've known before
A
And I'd never leave, and I forget to breathe
A
I wanna open up the door to
A E
Promises of love that your eyes show
D A
And I'm afraid of how much I'll adore you
E
That your love is the only kind of love
A
That I would ever want to know
F G C A
So I'll draw a line before complete surrender

'Cause you'd just be too much for me

Too strong, too sweet and too damn overwhelming

And I'm dying to make the most of us together
Dm
Because this is just what it is
G C E7
And what it is I know I've never felt it
A
You paint my world in a different kind of colors
A E
You play new chords to my song
D A
And we could so easily be lovers
E
As much as I would love to try
A
We'd end up in a place we don't belong
F G C A
So I'll draw a line before complete surrender

Too strong, too sweet and too damn overwhelming
