Sweet Surrender

Words and Music by John Denver
from Back Home Again (1974)


       A
	Lost and alone on some forgotten highway
					 E7
	Traveled by many, remembered by few

	Lookin' for something that I can believe in
					       A
	Lookin' for something that I'd like to do with my life

       
	There's nothin' behind me and nothin' that ties me to
						   E7
	Something that might have been true yesterday

	Tomorrow is open and right now it seems to be more than enough
          	           A
	To just be here today, and I don't know

	What the future is holdin' in store
					                      E7
	I don't know where I'm goin' I'm not sure where I've been

	There's a spirit that guides me, a light that shines for me
							     A
	My life is worth the livin', I don't need to see the end

	 E7              A       E7            A
	Sweet, sweet surrender, live, live without care
		E7          A             E7         A
 	Like a fish in the water, like a bird in the air.
