Surprise! Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Bm][D]

[Verse 1]
As [G]the gatekeepers de[D]cided,
we [Bm]would fade into the crowd
You took [F#]what makes you charm[D]ing,
and you turned it up too [G]loud
How many song[A]s does the band
have to [D]get through
Before you [G]steal [D]away the [Em]mic?
How many cakes [C]do you
have to jump [Em]out of
Before no [Fm]one yells, "Surp[D]rise"?
[E][D]

[Verse 2]
I re[G]member us both [D]learning that no
[Bm]one's dreams come true
They're either [F#]not quite
how you saw [D]them
Or the goal post just gets [G]moved
That's when you [A]changed
your expecta[D]tions
And started [G]rolling [D]your third [Em]eye
But you still [C]don't know the [Em]end ing,
you can't [Fm]spoil the surprise
[D][E]

[Verse 3]
[D]
And now the [G]nature of your birth[D]day
party's [Bm]changed a lot for me
What was [F#]once [D]a celebration feels
like a shameless vic[G]tory
[Em]I guess we[A] all confuse
our [D]happiness
With what it [G]takes to [D]just sur[Em]vive
But the mo[C]ment that the [Em]switch
gets flipped is al[Fm]ways a surprise
[D][E][D]

[Verse 4]
There's a [G]little bit of po[D]etry
in what you're [Bm]doing to your face
Re[F#]moving all the [D]evidence of
our shared time an[G]d space
But your [A]eyes close when
[D]you smile now
Because you're [G]squeezing [D]it too [Em]tight
[C]If this is how you [Em]double down,
you're [Fm]in for a surprise
[D]

[Verse 5]
There's a night [G]club deep in Hol[D]lywood for
[Bm]each night [F#]of th[Bm]e week
Watching [F#]all my fake friends con
[D]gregate where no one wants to [G]be
But you [A]have to muddle through [D]it
if you wanna [G]make it [D]out [Em]alive
And [C]the ones that find the oth
[Em]er side are [Fm]in for a surprise
[D][E][D]

[Interlude 1]
[G][D][Bm][F#][D]
[G][A][D][G]
[Em][C][Em][Fm][D][E][D]
[G][D][E][D]

[Verse 6]
Now, [G]I'm not
letting myself [D]off easy here
I've been [Bm]going through it, too
I might've [F#]leaned into things
more grace[D]fully
But what good did [G]that do?
[Em]You [A]found your way t[D]o rage
against the [G]dying [D]of the [Em]light
I thought [C]I planned for all contin[Em]gencies
I thought I [C]knew who I was [Em]meant to be
All [C]those roads laid out in front [G]of me
But it's still a big [Em]sur p[D]rise

[Outro 1]
