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