These lyrics are straight from the cover pamphlet of the CD.)

Capo 1

[Verse 1]
Am (x02210@1)                                         G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)In the party lull, some band's playing Hallelujah...Hallelujah...
Am (x02210@1)                                               G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)In the corner, the all night girls drink wine and try to sing along
Am (x02210@1)                                                       G (320003@1)       D (xx0232@1)I've made a mess of things, my stops and in betweens they weigh me down
Am (x02210@1)                                             G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)But you've got someone new singing you your songs now...right now...

[Chorus]
G (320003@1)     Am (x02210@1)    Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)   Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)     Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)         
         Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd sooner surrender, then our love would count for everything.

[Verse 2]
Am (x02210@1)                                              G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)In my sweetest dreams, it's just you and me, and we break wide.
Am (x02210@1)I wake reminded love, of how I just gave up,
     G (320003@1)               D (xx0232@1)and how you moved on, how you moved on...
     Am (x02210@1)I'm waiting for something, I've waited for now,
         G (320003@1)     D (xx0232@1)           Am (x02210@1)for the rolling canyons of love.
                                G (320003@1)           D (xx0232@1)But I'm tongue tied and you're coming alive, coming alive.

[Chorus]
G (320003@1)  Am (x02210@1)   Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)         D (xx0232@1)   Cadd9 (x32030@1)Sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G (320003@1)   Am (x02210@1)      Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)         
         Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd sooner surrender, then our love would count for everything...

[Bridge]
Am (x02210@1)                    G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)                Am (x02210@1)I'm sorry that you're gone, so sorry that you've gone
Am (x02210@1)                    G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)I'm sorry that you've gone, ohhh.

     Cadd9 (x32030@1)And I'm sorry that you've gone, so sorry that you've gone away...
                       Am (x02210@1)You're a little bit right...
Cadd9 (x32030@1)                   Am (x02210@1)         Cadd9 (x32030@1)More than a little bit right, with my arms around you

[Chorus]
G (320003@1)  Am (x02210@1)   Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)  Cadd9 (x32030@1)Sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse.
G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)     Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)      D (xx0232@1)         
        Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd sooner surrender, and our love would count for everything...
G (320003@1)    Am (x02210@1)     Cadd9 (x32030@1)G (320003@1)          D (xx0232@1)   Cadd9 (x32030@1)I'd sooner surrender, than watch the last wall collapse, I know,
