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