[Verse 1]
F# A#m C#
I am a lover of being in charge, though it’s my enemy
F# A#m C# D#m
And it sounds unlike me to not be the one with the authority
[Chorus]
C# G#
It’s time to bow out of this race
Fm F#
‘Bout time for me to be in last place
C# G#
I got myself in a civil war
F# A#m G#
It’s time to fight for, fight for
G#
What’s worth fighting for.

[Verse 2]
F# A#m C#
Joining the lines of those who have raised and flown a white flag
F# A#m C# D#m
And I know there is a victory in losing myself and gaining liberty
[Bridge]
F# G# A#m C#
Surrender is such a hard pill to swallow
F# G# A#m C#
Surrender is such a hard pill to swallow
F# G# A#m C#
Surrender is such a bitter pill to swallow
F# G# A#m C#
Surrender is such a bitter pill, it’s a bitter pill
D#m F#
It’s a bitter pill to swallow
