[Verse 1]

One more shot across the bow

One more bullet through the heart

You got me bleeding on the ground

I've got you wounded in the dark


[Pre-Chorus]

Why do we always

Take this way too far?


[Chorus]

Surrender tonight

There's time, save tomorrow

Mama, don't you let me down

This broken alliance

Leaves me so hollow

And wondering how

Yeah

Did the bed that we made

Become our battleground?


[Verse 2]

Well the damage has been done

I know you hurt, so don't pretend

Where we're used to making love

Now we're making war instead, oh


[Pre-Chorus]

Before it's too late

Lay your arms down, let me in


[Chorus]

Surrender tonight

There's time, save tomorrow

Mama, don't you let me down

This broken alliance

Leaves me so hollow

And wondering how

Did the bed that we made

Become our battleground?


[Bridge]

Just hold your fire

Long enough to see

This ain't how it's supposed to be

Once all that we've got is lost

The walls will fall

Please don't let them fall on me


[Solo]


[Outro]

I, I wanna lay you down

Surrender all the sorrow

The sorrow

Wanna lay you down

Surrender till it's gone

I wanna lay you down surrender

Till tomorrow

Tomorrow

Wanna lay you down surrender till it's gone

La la la la..

La la la

Just surrender till it's gone

La la la

La la la

La la la

Just surrender till it's gone

La la la..

La la la..

La la la..

I don't wanna fight no more

La la la..

La la la..

Say yeah

I can feel it all there

I wanna tell you right just then and there, oh

Say yeah

La la la..

La la la..

La la la..

Say yeah

I don't wanna fight this battle anymore
