Sweet Surrender
Intro: Am9 Em7
Am9 Em7
Now you wanna know the reason
Am9 Em7
Why I cheated on you
Am9 Em7
Well I had to be a hunter again
Am9 A
This little man had to try
Em7 D6(addE)
To make love feel new again
Em7
'Cause there's just a few things honey
D6(addE)
I'm not old enough to do for you
Em7
And there are things, mama
D6(addE) Em7
You just never care to show me
Bb Em7 Bb Em7
So this flim flam lover boy found him a flamingo
Bb Em7 Bb Em7
And his flamingo showed him how to tango
Bb Em7 Bb Em7
And when they tangoed it'd send their hearts a flutter
Bb Em7
Tease them till they stutter
Bb Em7
Made them so young and tender
Bb Em7 Bb Em7
Sweet to surrender in so sweet surrender
Bb Em7
In sweet surrender
Bb Em7 Bb Em7
Ahh sweet surrender to love
A Em7
But now you're gonna go out and get yourself a reputation
A Em7
But I'm gonna have to show you where to start
A Em7
And then you're gonna bring back your little reputation
A Am7 Em7 D6(addE) Em7 D6(addE)
And prove to me what I could not prove to you
Em7
'Cause I was just too young and hot
D6(addE) Em7
I was just too cold honey
D6(addE)
Just too hot to care
Em7 Am7 A Em7
Ah just too hot to surrender, surrender to love
Am7 A Em7
Sweet surrender surrender to love
Am7 A Em7
If we could just surrender love would heal the mess we made
Em7
So give it up mama
It ain't gonna be no good to keep going round and round
Em7 D6(addE)
You hurt me then I hurt you again
Em7 D6(addE)
All there's left to do is give it up
Em7 D6(addE)
Give it up and surrender
Em7 D6(addE)
Sweet surrender Sweet surrender your love
To love... to love...
