[Intro]
Am  C  Am  C
 
F  Am  F  Dm
 
 
[Verse 1]

 Am     C
Heat lightning
 F                  Am
Running outside the window
     Dm               Am
I’ve laid awake since 1:00
        G           F
and now, it’s 4 o’clock
       Am     C
Though I’ve held on
       F             Am
Can’t carry it much longer
Dm              Am
On the ceiling dancing are the
G                    F
things all come and gone
 
 
[Chorus]

F            Dm             C
And there’s nothing I can do
     F          C
Not much I can change
       G              Am
So, I give it up to you
   F              Am
I hope that’s okay
         G             C
There’s nothing I can do
F               C
Not much I can change
   G            Am
I give it up to you
      F
I surrender
 
 
[Post-Chorus]

F  C  F  Dm
 
 
[Verse 2]

Am     C
 Heat lightning
F                 Am
Watch it from my doorstep
Dm              Am
Sleeping eyelid of the sky
G              F
Flutters in a dream
      Am       C
Well I’ve held on
     F                       Am
But feel a storm approaching
Dm                Am
Trees are swaying in the wind
      G        F
like sea anemones
 
 
[Chorus]

             Dm            C
And there’s nothing I can do
F                 C
Not much I can change
        G               Am
Can I give it up to you?
  F            Am
Would that be okay?
          G            C
There’s nothing I can do
 F               C
Not much I can change
   G               Am
I give it up to you
      F       Am
I surrender
         G             C
There’s nothing I can do
 F              C
Not much I can change
   G               Am
I give it up to you
     F     C
I surrender
