The Strange Familiar - Surrender Acoustic

      G         D       E
The white flag of surrender
C           D             Em
The winning side, who can remember?
C         D         E       Em
Love will stand the test of time
C     D
Death defeated
   A          E
No more shall die


E
My hands tied
E
My eyes blind
C                 D             E
But seeing things for the first time
Em
Brimming over so much to say
D             Em
But no way to communicate


Em
My mouth full 
Em
Incoherent
D                  E
Give me a place to vent
Em
I’ll shout it out as loud as I can
D                       Em
Until my Last Breath is spent


CHORUS:
A                    Em
This battle won’t be won
A            Em
Overnight my love
G              D            Em
The fields are stained with blood

A          D            E
So bright, Every day is another fight

But hope keeps us marching on

C             D        Em
Hope keeps us marching on



Em            Em   
Foolish pride severs ties
D                  E
We feel comfort in lies
Em       Em           
Unbelief crawls and creeps
D         Em
Into busy hearts
Em             Em         
Whisper fear into our ears
D                  D      E
And soon we’ll all fall apart


CHORUS:
A           D        Em
This battle won’t be won
A   D         Em
Overnight my love
G               D            Em
The fields are stained with blood
A          D           E
So bright, Every day is another fight
C                 D        Em
But hope keeps us marching on

G             D          Em      
My soul cries out at the loss
C       A      Em
At this unholy holocaust
G        D         Em        E      
No human heart can count the cost
    C             D        Em
But love keeps us marching on

Love keeps us marching on
