E                                                B
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
                                      C#m
And now I think that I've got it all down
                                        A
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
                                   F#
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out.
Not wrapping this in ribbons,
                                  A
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...



CHORUS
             E
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
            B
I can't believe that I stayed till today
            C#m
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
        A                  B                   E
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.



E                                       B
It came out like a river once I let it out
                                    C#m
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
                                      A
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
                              F#
Felt so good to let go of it now
Not wrapping this in ribbons
                                 A
Shouldn't have to give a reason why



CHORUS
             E
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow.
            B
I can't believe that I stayed till today
                C#m
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
                 A                          B
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
               E
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
               B
God knows we tried to find an easier way
            C#m
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
        A                  B                     E
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.



     E
Our favorite place we used to go
     B
The warm embrace that no one knows
     C#m
The loving look that's left your eyes
        A                B              E
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise.



E                                             B
If I could see the future and how this plays out
                                    C#m
I bet it's better than where we are now
                                              A
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why



CHORUS
              E
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
            B
I can't believe that I stayed till today
            C#m
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
       A                  B                    E
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.



     E
Our favorite place we used to go
     B
The warm embrace that no one knows
     C#m
The loving look that's left your eyes
       A                  B                    E
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise.
