Strum
D-DU-UDU
I've  practiced this for hours, gone round and round
 And now I think that I've got it all down
 And as I say it louder I love how it sounds
 Cause I'm not taking the easy way out.
 Not wrapping this in ribbons,
 Shouldn't have to give a reason why...
 It's no surprise  I won't be here tomorrow
 I can't believe  that I stayed till today
 Yeah you and  I will be a tough act to follow
 But I know  in time we'll find  this was no surprise.
It  came out like a river once I let it out
 When I thought that I wouldn't know how
 Held onto it forever just pushing it down
 Felt so good to let go of it now
 Not wrapping this in ribbons
 Shouldn't have to give a reason why
 It's no surprise  I won't be here tomorrow.
 I can't believe  that I stayed till today
 There's nothing here  in this heart left to borrow
 There's nothing here  in this soul left to say
 Don't be surprised  when we hate this tomorrow
 God knows we tried  to find an easier way
 Yeah you and  I will be a tough act to follow
 But I know  in time we'll find  this was no surprise.
 Our favorite  place we used to go
 The warm  embrace that no one knows
 The loving  look that's left your eyes
 That's why  this comes as no,  as no surprise.
If  I could see the future and how this plays out
 I bet it's better than where we are now
 But after going through this, it's easier to see  the reason why
 It's no surprise  I won't be here tomorrow
 I can't believe  that I stayed till today
 Yeah you and  I will be a tough act to follow
 But I know  in time we'll find  this was no surprise.
 Our favorite  place we used to go
 The warm  embrace that no one knows
 The loving  look that's left your eyes
 But I know  in time we'll find  this was no surprise.
