Surprise Surprise chords by Steven Page

[Chorus]

D            G
Surprise surprise
  D                                G
I understand your shock at getting wise
Em                   A
I was feeling shame, you were feeling stupid
       Bm                            G
'cause I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G                      D
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did mm hmmm


[Verse]

Bm                          E
I spent my whole adult life worrying
         A                                  F#m
That the world would find me out before too long
  Bm                                E
I faint, I fail, my vision starts a-blurrying
             A
So just stay strong. Or get strong


[Chorus]

D            G
 Surprise surprise
D                            G
Look into these never-loving eyes
Em                          A
You were feeling safe while I was feeling lonely
    Bm                                  G
You thought that you had known me but I wish that you had only
D                                 G                      D
Known just what was wrong with me long before you did mm hmm


[Bridge]

  G           A            D          D7
A life on the run from the truth is a gun
         G              A                 D    D7
With its barrel pointed deep down in your throat
        G                 A7            F#m            Bm
And one day you'll say, "Enough of this self-defeating stuff"
          Em                   A
One false move: that's all she wrote


[Solo Harmony]

[Verse]

Bm                             E
And on those mornings when I'm lying
       A                         F#m
In our bed alone and realize I'm old
   Bm                             E
My mind begins to wish that I was flying
            A
It's not my mind: it's my soul


[Chorus]

D            G
Surprise surprise
  D                                G
I understand your shock at getting wise
Em                   A
I was feeling shame, you were feeling stupid
       Bm                            G
'cause I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
D                             G
I knew what was wrong with me long before you did
