[Opening]
[Am]I’m losing all direction, slipping into quicksand
I’ve [B]shattered the illusion, seen behind the [Em]curtain
[D]I’m [G]disenchanted, [Am]dancing on a wire
Juggling [G]desire, [B]every hit gets harder
When you’re fighting without armor, [Em]I’m [G]disheartened
[chorus]
Do [C]I start [Am]over, [B]redis[D]cover? [Em]
[Em]Submit to the [G]sweet surrender…
[chorus]
[Am]It’s a mind maze, all these [B]head games
[G]Caught [Em]in a [Am]cage, a [G]complex cage
[Am]Am I a car on fire? Will I [Bm]be [A]devo[G]ured?
I gotta [Em]free myself and [G]get out of my own way
[Closing]
[Am]I used to be so sparkling, but [C]now it’s not so [B]charming
What used to stimulate me, now can barely wake [Em]me
I’m [G]unresponsive, [Am]will I find salvation?
Some kind of moderation, [B]spinning all these plates is
Gonna be a [Em]challenge, a [G]delicate balance
[chorus]
Do [C]I start [Am]over, [B]redis[D]cover? [Em]
[Em]Submit to the [G]sweet surrender…
[chorus]
[Am]It’s a mind maze, all these [B]head games
[G]Caught [Em]in a [Am]cage, a [G]complex cage
[Am]Am I a car on fire? Will I [Bm]be [A]devo[G]ured?
I gotta [Em]free myself and [G]get out of my own way
[chorus]
Do [C]I start [Am]over, [B]redis[D]cover? [Em]
[Em]Submit to the [G]sweet surrender
[Em]Submit to the [G]sweet surrender
[Em]Submit to the [G]sweet surrender
