	        This is definitely not correct, so don't complain about that. 
For starters, in the vimeo vid for this song, I think Wil actually 
plays in some variation of C tuning. Also, the lyrics may not be 
entirely correct.

C I'm not from here so I think with my mouth, grew up a comfortable distance from where I live now, F C so grab me like the animals we were always supposed to be. C From these terrace house jungles we'll swing from the rooftops, F knowing nothing of the one-way streets far underneath our feet, C There's a life outside these bottles, there's a life right here for me F C But you don't have to surrender, G G if you don't F C But you don't have to surrender, G G C (intro again) if you don't want to C And I'll sit quiet, if I have to go home, listening to rubber, disturbed water, and whatever was on the radio, F C we should be climbing chainlink fences with backpacks, nowhere to go. C and am I satisfied or did I just come to terms with the hunger, F C with me all my life, made me live harder when I was younger But you don't have to surrender, if you don't want to C F C You asked me if I'm drinking again, F C you say it like it's a good thing F C But you don't have to surrender, G G F if you don't want to G I've got my white flag with me here just for you (intro again) C and the ease of repetition was filling my days, and I was comfortably killing myself in a myriad of different ways, F C and I'm not from around here, so I talk like I've been saved
