Mutual Surrender (what A Wonderful World)

Bourgeois Tagg

Why don't we both surrender?

Before we both get burned

So many shots fired

So many daggers thrown

Can you think of anything

We have heard from all this menace?

Have we learned from all this time?

Have we learned from all this business

With the gun and the knife?



I throw up my hands for you

And if you throw up your hands for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah

I throw up my hands, my hands for you

And if you throw up your hands for me

What a wonderful world this could be, be, be...



I remember things you whispered

The things you screamed

Then it all go up in flames

So many bombs drop

So many names called



Can't you see we've been living

In the world of pain from all this menace?

Can we end it all before?

This world is blown all to pieces

In a tug of war



I fall to my knees for you

And if you fall to your knees for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah

I fall to my knees, my knees for you

And if you fall to your knees for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah



Oh let's both make a mutual surrender

Oh let's both make a mutual surrender



Why don't we both surrender?

Here before we both get burned

With all the shots fired

And all the daggers thrown

There's got to be something

We can learn from all this menace

Can we learn from all this time?

Can we learn from all this business

With the gun and the knife



I raise my white flag for you

And if you raise your white flag for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah

I raise my white flag, my flag for you

And if you raise your white flag for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah

I fall to my knees, my knees for you

And if you fall to your knees for me

What a wonderful world this could be, yeah

I throw up my hands, my hands for you

And if your throw up your hands for me

What a wonderful world this could
