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