Alanis Morissette – Surrendering (Guitar)

    D                   D
You were full and fully capable

    D                   D
You were self sufficient and needless

    D                   D
Your house was fully decorated in that sense

    D                 D
You were taken with me to a point

    D                 D
A case of careful what you wish for

    D                   D
But what you knew was enough to begin

                 D                  D
And so you called and courted fiercely

                   D             D
So you reached out, entirely fearless

            D             D
And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves

         G                    A
And I salute you for your courage

        G                A
And I applaud your perseverance

        G                  A                   G             A
And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces that I represent

      D               D
So you were in but not entirely

    D                   D
You were up for this but not totally

    D                    D
You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt

                D             D
And so you fell and you're intact

              D                      D
So you dove in and you're still breathing

           D                          D
And so you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked

         G                    A
And I support you in your trusting

         G                    A
And I commend you for your wisdom

         G                A                   G               A
And I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces that I represent

      D               D
You found creative ways to distance

      D               D
You hid away from much through humor

      D               D
Your choice of armor was your intellect

                D                 D
And so you felt and you're still here

                D                 D
And so you died and you're still standing

                D                 D
And so you softened and you're still safely in command

         G                    A
And I salute you for your courage

         G               A
And I applaud your perseverance

         G                 A                   G              A
And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces that I represent

Cmaj7                  G/B
Self-protection was in times of true danger

Cmaj7                   G/B
Your best defense to mistrust and be wary

Am                      G
Surrendering a feat of unequalled measure

D                          D
And I'm thrilled to let you in

D                D
Overjoyed to be let in in-kind

         G                    A
And I salute you for your courage

         G                   A
And I commend you for your wisdom

         G                 A                   G               A
And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces

         G                    A
And I support you in your trusting

        G                    A
And I applaud your perseverance

          G                A                   G              A
And I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces that I represent
