A
Thought I was bad and I had to get good
Bm
Thought I was smart but I misunderstood
D                    E
Felt I was weak and I had to get strong
       A                                      A
I was sure I was right then I found I was wrong
A
Thought I was lost and I had to get found
Bm
They called me square so I tried to get round
D                     E
Felt I was lazy and I had to get busy
A
Swore I was high, but I was just plain dizzy


[Chorus]
A                         Bm
Now I really know like I never knew before
D                E              A
The Lord come a-knocking and I finally opened up the door, no doubt about it
A                   Bm                    D         E               A
Oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet surrender, oh, sweet sur-ren-der,   oh, sweet

surrender

A
Felt I was bored so I made a switch
Bm
Thought I was poor and I had to get rich
D                            E
I was sure I was crazy and I had to get sane
     A                               A
That wasn't enough so I changed my name
A
Thought my image needed a pat on the back
Bm
I thought my ego needed a Cadillac
D                           E
There I was sitting in the driver's seat
               A
I was feeling low and still incomplete


[Chorus]

A                         Bm
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
