Sweet Surrender (Sarah McLachlan - Surfacing)

                Em                    C           G
It doesn't mean much, it doesn't mean anything at all
D                       Em           C
   The life I've left behind me is a cold one
                 Em             C              G
I've crossed the last line from where I cannot turn 
      D            Em              C           G
Where every step I took in faith betrayed me
    D      Em   C
And let me fall down

D     C   G    Em         C              D   Em        G
Swee--ee--ee--t surrender  is all I ever had   to give
        Em      C               G     
Take me now, no questions asked
 D                       Em               C
     You strip away the otherness that surrounds me
           Em          C            G
Are you an angel, am I already that gone
D                  Em           C            G
  I just hope that I won't disappoint you
         D         Em    C
When I'm down here on my knees

D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give
D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give

      Am                       D
And I don't understand how the touch of your hand
G                          C
     I would be the one to fall
           Am                 D
I miss the little things
       Am                     D
I miss everything about you
                Em
It doesn't mean much
                C           G
It doesn't mean anything at all
D                      Em                   C
  The life I've left behind me is a me is a cold one

D     C   G    Em         C              D   Em
Swee--ee--ee--t surrender  is all I ever had   to give
D     C   G     Em          C              D    Em
Swee--ee--ee--t   surrender  is all that I have   to give

I've crossed the last line from where I can't return
      E            F#m             Dadd2        A

 You strip away the ugliness that surrounds me
           F#m         Dadd2        A
Are you an angel, am I already that gone
