[Intro]
 
Am    G     Dm        C      E7  x2
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am                     G
She reads a book from across the street
Dm                         C           E7
Waiting for someone that she'll never meet
Am                               G
Talk over coffee for an hour or two
Dm                           C        E7
She wonders why I'm always in a good mood
Am                            G
Killing time before she struts her stuff
Dm                          C            E7
She needs support and I've become the crutch
Am                                 G
She'll never know how much she means to me
Dm                      C          E7
I'd play the game but I'm the referee
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                         G
(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
Am                        D
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
F                         G
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
Am                         D
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found
F         G            D
(Surrender) Yourself to me
 
 
[Instrumental]
 
Am    G     Dm        C      E7
 
 
[Verse]
 
Am                     G
Even though I know what I'm looking for
Dm                         C           E7
She's got a brick wall behind her door
Am                     G
I'd travel time and confess to her
Dm                         C           E7
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger
 
 
[Chorus]
 
F                         G
(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
Am                        D
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
F                         G
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
Am                         D
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost you have found
F         G            D
(Surrender) Yourself to me
 
 
[Bridge]
 
A5                              Bb5
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
            F5                   G5
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
A5                      Bb
Searching until my hands bleed
Dm                 C       E7
This flower don't belong to me
A5                              Bb5
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
            F5                   G5
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
A5                      Bb
Searching until my hands bleed
Dm                C       E7
This flower don't belong to me
Dm                C       E7
This flower don't belong to me
Dm                C    E7
Why can't she belong to me?
 
F      G       Am       D
 
F                         G
Every word, every thought, every sound
Am                        D
Every touch, every smile, every frown
F                         G
All the pain we've endured until now
Am                         D
All the hope that I lost, you have found
 
F                         G
(Surrender)
Every word, every thought, every sound
Am                        D
(Surrender)
Every touch, every smile, every frown
F                         G
(Surrender)
All the pain we've endured until now
Am                         D
(Surrender)
All the hope that I lost, you have found
 
 
[Chorus]
F                         G
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
Am                        D
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
F                         G
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
Am                         D
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
F                         G
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask
Am                        D
(Surrender)
Has my moment come and passed?
F                         G
(Surrender)
I never had the nerve to ask

yeah nice one..I find the D7 chord better suited than the D chord after the Am in the chorus..especially at the end with the F-G-D transition..

My suggestion is Dsus2. D7sus2 sounds good as well, especially at the end of the chorus because the tone benjamin is singing is a C, which is the seventh of a D chord ;)

I change my mind, follow up the F-G-Am with the Am/F# or what you wanna call it. 023002 is the chord, and I find that to sound the best (for now)
