Lyric by Gordon Clifford
Melody by Harry Barris
[Dm] [A7] [C#dim]
We've played the game of stay away
[Dm] [E7] [Am] [D9]
But it costs more than I can pay
[C] [Am] [D9]
Without you I can't make my way
[Dm] [G7] [G+] [C] [C7] [A7+] [A7]
I surrender, dear
[Dm] [A7] [C#dim]
I may seem proud I may act gay
[Dm] [E7] [Am] [D9]
It's just a pose, I'm not that way
[C] [Am] [D9]
'Cause deep down in my heart I say
[Dm] [G7] [G+] [C]
I surrender, dear
[Ddim7] [F] [Am]
Little mean things we were doing
[Ddim7] [F] [Am]
Must have been part of the game
[Ddim7] [F] [Am]
Lending a spice to the wooing
[D9] [D7] [G9] [Fm] [G7]
But I don't care who's to blame
[Dm] [A7] [C#dim]
When stars appear and shadows fall
[Dm] [E7] [Am] [D9]
Why, then you'll hear my poor heart call
[C] [Am] [D9]
To you my love, my life, my all
[Dm] [G7] [G+] [C]
I surrender, dear
