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