If u wish you can use a n acoustic guitar for the intro separately, but switching
clean and distortion on just one guitar is also good enough

Verse 1
BB
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
C# minorC#m
And now I think that I've got it all down
A augmentedA
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
F# minorF#m
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
Not wrapping this in ribbons
A augmentedA
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

VERSE 2
Guitar 1 SAME CHORDS AS VERSE 1
It came out like a river once I let it out
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

E5E5
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
B5B5
I can't believe that I stayed till today
C#5C#5
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
B5B5
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
E5E5
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
B5B5
God knows we tried to find an easier way
C#5C#5
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
E5E5
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

Guitar 1 with distortion
E5E5
Our favorite place we used to go
B5B5
The warm embrace that no one knows
C#5C#5
The loving look that's left your eyes
E5E5
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
B minorBm
If I could see the future and how this plays out
C# minorC#m
I bet it's better than where we are now
B minorBm
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
Chorus repeats
Bridge 2
Guitar 1 with distortion
E5E5
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
B5B5
Both wrong and right, our memories
B5B5
The whispering before we sleep, just one more thing that you can't keep
E5E5
Our favorite place we used to go
B5B5
The warm embrace that no one knows
C#5C#5
The loving look that's left your eyes
E5E5
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
