The trickiest part of this song is the rhythm. Where the chords lie may not be where
they are exactly supposed to fall with the rhythm. Use your intuition.
Capo on 1st
(Intro) F C G C, F C G C, F C G C, F C G C
F C G C
I was running on an empty heart
F C G C
Not a trace of gasoline
F C G C
Trying to dim every single spark
F C G C
That could hurt, that could burn all of me
F C G C
Like a soldier on the battle ground
F C G C
Lying wounded on the field
F C G C
I was fighting along with the broken sword
F Am G
Now I'm caught in a war with no shield
F
If you hold me now
G
And leave me never
F G Am
Say you'll stay, with me forever
G F F
Then I surrender, surrender
F C G
If you hold me now
And leave me never
F Am G
Say you'll stay, with me forever
Dm Em F G
Then I surrender, surrender Yeah
F C G, F C G, F C G
F C G
(Surrender, surrender, yeah)
F C G C
I push and pulled all the ones that tried
F C G C
Then I'll wash and fade away
F C G C
As I look around a vacate room
F C G C
I see nobody left here to play
F C G C
Cause I made myself a prisoner
F C G C
Shackle up all my fears
F C G C
But I feel you're breaking away out the walls
F Am G C
Make them fall, make them all disappear
F
If you hold me now
G
And leave me never
F G
Say you'll stay, with me forever
Am G F F
Then I surrender, surrender
F C G
If you hold me now
And leave me never
F Am G
Say you'll stay, with me forever
Dm Em F G
Then I surrender, surrender yeah
F C G, F C G, F C G

(Surrender, surrender)
F C G
Hold me now
F C G
And leave me never
F C G
Say you'll stay, with me forever
