Sweet Surrender by Dion DiMucci

I heard this song on the radio last nite while flipping dials
& tuning into the Christian station in Cleveland. 1220 AM. H
adn't heard it in along time.
You may remember Dion was a popular singer in the 50's
& early 60's. Enjoy...

Sweet Surrender

Thought I was bad and I had to get good

Thought I was smart but I misunderstood

Felt I was weak and I had to get strong
   
I was sure I was right then I found I was wrong

Thought I was lost and I had to get found

They called me square so I tried to get round

Felt I was lazy and I had to get busy

Swore I was high, but I was just plain dizzy


(Chorus)
                     
Now I really know like I never knew before

The Lord come a-knocking and I finally opened up the door, no doubt about it

Oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet sur-ren-der,   oh, sweet
surrender


Felt I was bored so I made a switch

Thought I was poor and I had to get rich
Ebmaj7                           F7
I was sure I was crazy and I had to get sane
   Bb                               Cm/Bb
That wasn't enough so I changed my name
Bb
Thought my image needed a pat on the back
Cm
I thought my ego needed a Cadillac
Ebmaj7                     F7
There I was sitting in the driver's seat
Bb
I was feeling low and still incomplete


(Chorus)
