Intro
Eb Eb or (Bb)
[VERSE ONE]
Eb
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
A#
And now I think that I've got it all down
Cm
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
Ab
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Fm
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Ab
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...
[CHORUS]
Eb
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
A#
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Cm
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
Ab - A#
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
[VERSE TWO]
Eb
It came out like a river once I let it out
A#
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Cm
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Ab
Felt so good to let go of it now
Fm
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Ab
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
[CHORUS]
Eb
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
A#
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Cm
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
Ab A#
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Eb
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
A#
God know we tried to find an easier way
Cm
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
Ab A# Eb
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
[BRIDGE]
Eb
Our favorite place we used to go
A#
The warm embrace that no one knows
Cm
The loving look that's left your eyes
Ab A# Eb
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
[VERSE THREE]
Eb
If I could see the future and how this plays out
A#
I bet it's better than where we are now
Cm Ab A#
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
