[Verse 1]
Dm C A# G
In a battle, you only brought your shield
Dm C A# G
I picked the nearest blade I found to meet you in the field
Dm C A# G
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies If not, I bent the truth
Dm F A# G
But good fortune never was shining on me the way it shone on you
[Chorus 1]
Dm F A# G
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Dm Em F A#
Shock me, I needed a surprise
A# G F C
Shock me
[Verse 2]
Dm C A# G
In a dream, a great calamity
Dm C A# G
To stone my heart and firm resolve And render nerves to steel
Dm C A# G
The polestar wheeled about my head Until such time it grew
Dm C A# G
E deep well of despair I found The day my dreams came true
[Chorus 2]
Dm F A# G
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Dm Em F A#
Shock me, I needed a surprise
A# G F C
Shock me
