Sweet Surrender
View chords used in this chart
A
Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
E7
Traveled by many remembered by few
Looking for something that I can believe in
A
Looking for something that I’d like to do with my life
There’s nothing behind me and nothing that ties me
E7
To something that might have been true yesterday
Tomorrow is open and right now it seems
A
To be more than enough to just be here today
And I don’t know what the future is holding in store
E7
I don’t know where I’m going I’m not sure where I’ve been
There’s a spirit that guides me a light that shines for me
A
My life is worth the living I don’t need to see the end
E7 A
Sweet sweet surrender
E7 A
Live live without care
E7 A
Like a fish in the water
E7 A
Like a bird in the air
