Surrender Lyrics & Chords By The Smith Street Band

I'm not from here so I think with my mouth,
Grew up a comfortable distance from where I live now,
So grab me like the animals we were always supposed to be.
From these terrace house jungles we'll swing from the rooftops,
Knowing nothing of the one-way streets far underneath our feet,
There's a life outside these bottles, there's a life right here for me
But you don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't want to
And I'll sit quiet, if I have to go home,
Listening to rubber, disturbed water, and whatever was on the radio,
We should be climbing chainlink fences with backpacks, nowhere to go.
And am I satisfied or did I just come to terms with the hunger,
With me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger
But you don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't want to
You asked me if I'm drinking again,
You say it like it's a good thing
But you don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't
You don't have to surrender,
If you don't want to
I've got my white flag with me here just for you
And the ease of repetition was filling my days,
And I was comfortably killing myself in a myriad of different ways,
And I'm not from around here, so I talk like I've been saved
