Daughtry - No Surprise
 
Capo 3rd fret
 
[Verse 1]
 C                                             G
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round
                                      Am
And now I think that I've got it all down
                                      F
And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
                                   Dm
Cause I'm not taking the easy way out
 
Not wrapping this in ribbons
                    F
Shouldn't have to give a reason why...
 
[Chorus 1]
            C
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
            G
I can't believe that I stayed till today
             Am
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow 
      F                      G                  C
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
 
[Verse 2]
 C                                      G
It came out like a river once I let it out
                                    Am
When I thought that I wouldn't know how
                                      F
Held onto it forever just pushing it down
                              Dm
Felt so good to let go of it now
 
Not wrapping this in ribbons
                   F
Shouldn't have to give a reason why
 
[Chorus 2]
           C
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
            G
I can't believe that I stayed till today
 
                 Am
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow
 
                 F
There's nothing here in this soul left to say
             C
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow
                 G
God knows we tried to find an easier way
              Am
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow
 F                       G                  C
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
 
[Bridge]
         C
Our favorite place we used to go
      G
The warm embrace that no one knows
      Am
The loving look that's left your eyes
         F               G           C
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
 
[Verse 3]
 C                                            G
If I could see the future and how this plays out
                                    Am
I bet it's better than where we are now   
                                              F
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why
 
[Chorus 1]
            C
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow
            G
I can't believe that I stayed till today
             Am
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow 
 F                       G                  C
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise
 
[Bridge]
     C
The kiss goodnight, it comes with me
      G
Both wrong and right, our memories  our memories 
     Am
The whispering before we sleep,
     F                    G
Just one more thing that you can't keep  you can't keep 
 
         C
Our favorite place we used to go
      G
The warm embrace that no one knows
      Am
The loving look that's left your eyes
         F               G           C
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise
