[E] To win you must [C#m] fight, or so they [E] say [C#m]
But with [E] love things never [C#m] seem to work that [B] way
With [A] love you can't [B] win

And it [A] can't pierce the [B] heart of a [C#m] defender
To [A] win in [B] love you must [E] surrender [C#m]  [E] [C#m]

If you're [E] angry then you [C#m] can't surrender, [E] no [C#m]
Your [E] unwilling [C#m]  surrender's just a [B] show
And [A] unwillingly sweet [B] means [A] certain [B] defeat
Better a [A] fighter than a [B] soft-spoken [C#m] pretender
To [A] win in [B] love you must [E] surrender

Now, [G#m] I can be stubborn and draw the [A] line
But [G#m] now I've learned to pray thy [A] will and not [B] mine

Love has [E] softened my [C#m] heart and softened [E] me
It's [E] softened my [C#m]  eyes on the things they [B] see
And my [A] cheek has got [B] much
[A] Softer to the [B] touch
Since I [A] learned to be [B] receiver as well as [C#m] sender
To [A] win in [B] love you must [E] surrender [C#m]  [E] [C#m]

I [G#m] ask at night when the world is [A] still
Be it [G#m] done unto me ac[A]cording to thy [B] will

To [E] summon Gabriel [C#m]  and Michaelange[E]lo [C#m]
Or to [E] compete with [C#m]  Juliet or Rom[B]eo
Your [A] armor, so [B] strong
Is strat[A]egically [B] wrong
Victory [A] goes this [B] time to the [C#m] tender

To [A] win in [B] love you must [C#m] surrender
To [A] win in [B] love you must [E] surrender, [A] surrender, [A] surrender,  [B] surrender

Lyrics

To win you must fight, or so they say
But with love things never seem to work that way
With love you can't win
If love can't get in
And it can't pierce the heart of a defender
To win in love you must surrender

If you're angry then you can't surrender, no
Your unwilling surrender's just a show
And unwillingly sweet means certain defeat
Better a fighter than a soft-spoken contender
To win in love you must surrender

Now, I can be stubborn and draw the line
But now I've learned to pray thy will and not mine

Love has softened my heart and softened me
It's softened my eyes on the things they see
And my cheek has got much
Softer to the touch
Since I learned to be receiver as well as sender
To win in love you must surrender

I ask at night when the world is still
He it done unto me according to her will

To summon Gabriel and Michaelangelo
Or to compete with Juliet or Romeo
Your armor, so strong
Is strategically wrong
Victory goes this time to the tender

To win in love you must surrender
To win in love you must surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
Surrender

Morning Becomes Eclectic

Lyrics

Well they say to win you must fight but I'm not so sure
The name of this song is 'surrender'

[Pardon that long introduction on the guitar, you see if you saw it live ]

Well to win you must fight, or so they say
But with love things never seem to work that way
With love you can't win
If love can't get in
And it can't pierce the heart of a defender
To win in love you must surrender

If you're angry then you can't surrender, no
Your unwilling surrender's just a show
And unwillingly sweet means certain defeat
Better a fighter than a soft-spoken pretender
To win in love you must surrender

Now, I can be stubborn and draw the line, yes
But now I've been learning to pray thy will and not mine

To summon Gabriel and Michaelangelo
Or to compete with Juliet and Romeo
Well your armor, so strong
Is strategically wrong
Victory goes this time to the tender
To win in love you must surrender
Yes
To win in love you must surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
Surrender

Well if you're angry then you can't surrender, no
Your unwilling surrender's just a show
And unwillingly sweet is certain defeat
Better a fighter than a soft-spoken pretender

Lyrics

To win you must fight, or so they say
Even though with love things never seem to work this way
In fact with love you can't win
If love can't get in
And it can't pierce the heart of a defender
To win in love you must surrender

If you're angry you can't surrender, no
An unwilling surrender's just a show
And unwillingly sweet is certain defeat
Better a fighter than a soft-spoken pretender
To win in love you must surrender

Now, I can be stubborn and draw the line
But now I've learned to pray thy will and not mine

Love has softened my heart and softened me
It's softened my eyes on the things they see
And my cheek has got much
Softer to the touch
Since I learned to be receiver as well as sender
Well to win in love you must surrender

I ask at night when the world is still ???
He it done unto me according to thy will

To summon Gabriel or Michaelangelo
To compete with Juliet and Romeo
Well your armour, so strong
Is strategically wrong
Victory goes this time to the tender

To win in love you must surrender
I said
To win in love you must surrender, surrender, surrender, surrender
