Matt Nathanson - Sooner Surrender

[ the lyrics are usually wrong whenever i look them up and on other versions of this
these lyrics are straight from the cover pamphlet of the cd . )

capo 1

[ verse 1 ]
Am G D
in the party lull , some band’s playing hallelujah . . . hallelujah . . .
Am G D
in the corner , the all night girls drink wine and try to sing along
Am G D
i’ve made a mess of things , my stops and in betweens they weigh me down
Am G D
but you’ve got someone new singing you your songs now . . . right now . . .

[ chorus ]
G Am Cadd9 G D Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , than watch the last wall collapse .
G Am Cadd9 G D
Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , then our love would count for everything .

[ verse 2 ]
Am G D
in my sweetest dreams , it’s just you and me , and we break wide .
Am
i wake reminded love , of how i just gave up ,
G D
and how you moved on , how you moved on . . .
Am
i’m waiting for something , i’ve waited for now ,
G D Am
for the rolling canyons of love .
G D
but i’m tongue tied and you’re coming alive , coming alive .

[ chorus ]
G Am Cadd9 G D Cadd9
sooner surrender , than watch the last wall collapse .
G Am Cadd9 G D
Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , then our love would count for everything . . .

[ bridge ]
Am G D Am
i’m sorry that you’re gone , so sorry that you’ve gone
Am G D
i’m sorry that you’ve gone , ohhh .
Am G D
Cadd9
and i’m sorry that you’ve gone , so sorry that you’ve gone away . . .
Am
you’re a little bit right . . .
Cadd9 Am Cadd9
more than a little bit right , with my arms around you

[ chorus ]
G Am Cadd9 G D Cadd9
sooner surrender , than watch the last wall collapse .
G Am Cadd9 G D
Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , and our love would count for everything . . .
G Am Cadd9 G D Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , than watch the last wall collapse , i know ,
G Am Cadd9 G D
Cadd9
i’d sooner surrender , and our love would count for everything . . .
G D Cadd9
and our love would count for everything . . .
G D Cadd9
and i miss when you were everything . . .
