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                              Am/D
(Surrender) Every touch, every smile, every frown
F                                 G
(Surrender) All the pain we've endured until now
Am                               Am/D
(Surrender) All the hope that I lost you have found
F         G             Am/D
(Surrender) Yourself to me

Even though I know what I'm looking for
She's got a brick wall behind her door
I'd travel time and confess to her
But I'm afraid she'd shoot the messenger

Chorus

           Am                  A#
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
           F                   G
I think I found a flower in a field of weeds
Am              A#
Searching until my hands bleed
      Dm             C       E7
This flower don't belong to me - x2

      Dm             C       E7
This flower don't belong to me
 Dm              C    G  F
Why can't she belong to me?

Chorus

F                            G
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
Am                        Am/D
(Surrender) Has my moment come and passed?
F                            G
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
Am                        Am/D
(Surrender) Has my moment come and passed?
F                            G
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
Am                        Am/D
(Surrender) Has my moment come and passed?
F                            G
(Surrender) I never had the nerve to ask
