Verse 1:
E4              Em
Don't get excited, don't say a word
D
Nobody noticed, nothing was heard
       A/C#         C
It was committed discreetly
       G/B        Bb
It was handled so neatly
       F              C/E        Dm       A74 A7
And it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

Verse 2:
E                      Em
Break all the records, burn the cassettes
       D
I'd be lying if I told you that I had no regrets
              A/C#      C
There were so many mistakes
           G/B           Bb
And what a difference it makes
             F           C/E           Dm       Am
But still it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
  G       C            G/B          Bb6       A7
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

D     A7   Bb  F#m Gm  D7   Eb     F
Don't look now but you have changed
     Gm   G       Cm  A7   D    B7
Your best friends wouldn't tell you

Verse 3: 
E4               Em
Now it's apparent, now it's a fact
   D
So marshal your forces for another attack
            A/C#        C
You were so young and naive
            G/B       Bb
I know it's hard to believe
           F             C/E         Dm       Am
But now it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
G     C            G/B          Bb6      A7
No it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know

Verse 4:

What has it cost you, what have you won
    D
The sins of the fathers are the sins of the sons
       A/C#       C               G/B        Bb
It was always within you. it will always continue
       F           C/E           Dm       Am
But it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
  G       C         G/B             Am       Em
I said it shouldn't surprise you at all, you know
