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

[CHORUS]
Eb
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
Bb
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Cm
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
Ab - Bb
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

[VERSE TWO]
Eb
It came out like a river once I let it out
Bb
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
Cm
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
Ab
Felt so good to let go of it now
Fm
Not wrapping this in ribbons
Ab
Shouldn't have to give a reason why

[CHORUS]
Eb
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
Bb
I can't believe that I stayed till today
Cm
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
Ab                                        Bb
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
Eb
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
Bb
God know we tried to find an easier way
Cm
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
Ab                       Bb               Eb
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise

[BRIDGE]
Eb
Our favorite place we used to go
Bb
The warm embrace that no one knows
Cm
The loving look that's left your eyes
Ab                      Bb         Eb
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise

[VERSE THDE ]
Eb
If I could see the future and how this plays out
Bb
I bet it's better than where we are now   
Cm                                           Ab             Bb
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
