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]

D G D G Em A Bm G D G D D


[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
