No surprise (video)

1. I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round,

Am

and now I think that I've got it all down,

F

and as I say it louder, I love how it sounds

D

’cause I'm not taking the easy way out.

Not wrapping this in ribbons

F

shouldn't have to give a reason why.

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow,

G

I can't believe that I stayed till today,

Am

yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow,

F G C

but I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.

2. It came out like a river once I let it out,

Am

when I thought that I wouldn't know how,

F

held onto it forever just pushing it down,

D

felt so good to let go of it now.

Not wrapping this in ribbons,

F

shouldn't have to give a reason why

- - - - - - - C

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow,

G

I can't believe that I stayed till today,

Am

there's nothing here in this heart left to borrow,

F G

there's nothing here in this soul left to say.

C

Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow,

G

God knows, we tried to find an easier way.

Am

Yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow,

F G C

but I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.

C

Our favorite place we used to go,

G

the warm embrace that no one knows,

Am

the loving look that's left your eyes

F G C

that's why this comes as no, as no surprise.

3. If I could see the future and how this plays out,

Am

I bet it's better than where we are now,

F

but after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why.

C

It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow,

G

I can't believe that I stayed till today,

Am

yeah, you and I will be a tough act to follow,

F G C

but I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.

C

Our favorite place we used to go,

G

the warm embrace that no one knows,

Am

the loving look that's left your eyes,

F G C

but I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.
