A       E           D                         A
Pretty mess on the west, I smile at her sight
               E           D                   A
She loves the Ergs, vegan food, oh, never mind
           E      F#m
She's the kindest girl you can find
       D                      E
Oh, I miss late nights, late parties
                   A
I don't get around
          E          D                      A
It's the way that I never really even cared
           E            D                       A
Stayed up late just to catch that movie premiere
         E              F#m
And I'm aware that it's hard to escape
           D
So we got stuck in a rut 
          E                      D            E     Em
Now it's all catching up and pretending you relate

 
[Chorus]

A   E    D         
Hey, we just don't surrender
      A             E            D                 A
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
       E          D                       A
And I think that even on the worst nights
            E     D    
It tends to be alright
        A       E     D
I guess it will be alright

[Verse 2]

A         E           D                       A
I passed out on your couch for a little while
              E       D                      A     
And realized half my life has been in denial
           E              F#m                       D
But these nights when we stare at the sky and talk about our lives
              E             
They made me want to try so
N.C.
I drove around as if to force conversation
N.C.
We ended up by the river if I'm not mistaken
                     F#m
But I digress, I was out of my mind
              D                           E           A
So when it's brought up now I've gotten good at lying
   D         F#m          E                      A
I think this place looks better in the rear view
   D       F#m               E                     A
I miss my friends, though I really didn't need you
    D       F#m             E            A
We won't go down without a violent fight
      D      F#m         E 
This song's about every single thought that I've ever had
       D
Every single thought that I'd like to take back
   E
I know it doesn't work like that
              D
And half the time, it doesn't work


[Chorus]

A   E    D         
Hey, we just don't surrender
      A             E            D                 A
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
       E          D                       A
And I think that even on the worst nights
            E     D    
It tends to be alright
        A       E     D
I guess it will be alright


[Outro]

N.C.   
Hey, we just don't surrender
N.C.
It's hard to talk about it when you don't remember
N.C.
And I think that even on the worst nights
N.C.
It tends to be alright
N.C.
I guess it will be alright
