The Element Of Surprise chords by The Last Shadow Puppets

Chords with lyrics

[Intro]

DmDm FF G minorGm A#mA#m


[Verse 1]

         DmDm
There’s a set of rickety stairs
              FF
In between my heart and my head
                    G minorGm
And there ain’t much that ever bothers going up them
         A#mA#m
Here we go at it again
DmDm                   FF
And once it’s started it’s so tricky to stop
                     G minorGm
Suddenly reminded of things I thought I’d forgot
               A#mA#m
You’ve got me loosening up my grip on the plot

[Chorus]

A#mA#m

       G minorGm
And It feels like
   C#C#            FF
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
      G minorGm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#C#
As you snuck in the side


[Verse 2]

DmDm FF G minorGm A#mA#m

        DmDm
And the place I thought I was at
           FF
Hasn’t yet invited me back
                   G minorGm
The trouble with the chase is it’s so easy
To crash
                    A#mA#m
Why colour in the lines if you’re just painting
It black?

[Verse 3]

DmDm                    FF
I thought they were kisses but apparently not
                       G minorGm
Do you end all your messages with an ‘X marks the spot’?
                  A#mA#m
Just let me know when you want your socks
Knocking off


[Chorus]

A#mA#m

       G minorGm
And It feels like
   C#C#            FF
Your entrance just caused the temperature to rise
      G minorGm
You’d got a look in your eyes
C#C#
As you snuck in the side
FF
Guess there’s nothing like the element
  G minorGm    A#mA#m DmDm
Of surprise


[Outro}

C#C#       FF
The element of surprise
C#C#       FF
The element of surprise
C#C#       FF
The element of surprise
C#C#           FF
