D

    Beat surrender !

 

G                          - F                       - Em                            F#

    Come on, boy,       come on, girl,         succumb to the beat surrender !

G                          - F                       - Em                            F#

    Come on, boy,       come on, girl,         succumb to the beat surrender !

 

    C                       -  Em                      F                         G

1.     All the things          that I care about are packed into one punch,

C                              Em                   F                      E

    all the things that I'm not sure about are sorted out at once.

C                                  - Bb                    - F                 Em

    And as it was in the         beginning,        so shall it be in the end,

             F             Em                   C

    that bullshit is bullshit, it just goes by different names.

 

+ CHORUS

 

    C                      -  Em                         F                   G

2.    All the things          that I shout about but never act upon,

C                                       Em                 - F                         E

    all the courage of the dreams I have,       they seem to wait so long.

C                      Bb             - F                          Em

    My doubt is cast aside,        watch phonies run to hide,

F              Em                     C

    the dignified don't even enter in the game.

 

+ CHORUS

 

              Bm                                         G       

    If you feel there's no passion, no quality sensation,

                     Bm                                             G

    seize that young determination, show the fakers you ain't fooling.

              Bm                  G

    You'll see me come running to the sound of your strumming,

               Bm

    fill my heart with joy and gladness,

                          G                                  C    G

    I've lived too long in the shadows of sadness.

C                      Bb             - F                          Em

    the dignified don't even enter in the game.
