Intro 

Oooooooooo Oooooo 

Em    D 
Oooooooooo 

verse 1 

D               D  
Oh this road has been hard 
Em     G          D 
On my feet, on my heart 
D               D 
Led me to the gates of hell 
A      G              A 
I know sorrow all too well 
         D 
Lost my love to the wind 
        G             A 
Left me half of who I am 
        G            A 
Heavy load, Heaven knows 
      D 
I'm tired 

       D        D          D        
I give up, I give in, I lay down 
G          A 
   I surrender 
          D     A          D               G        A 
I won't fight,    I won't try, I lay down,  at your side 
       D 
I surrender 

verse 2 

D               D 
After all I've been through 
         G            D 
I can't say what is true 
       D 
But I choose to believe 
           G           D     
There's a hand guiding me 
         G                A 
There is hope, there's a home 
       D 
For my soul 

      D        D          D        
I give up, I give in, I lay down 
G          A 
   I surrender 
          D     A          D               G        A 
I won't fight,    I won't try, I lay down,  at your side 
D 
I won't cry 
D 
Why should I? 
D          G        A  
I lay down,  at your side 
      D     
I surrender
