[Verse 1]
Am G F D
In a battle, you only brought your shield
Am G F D
I picked the nearest blade I found to meet you in the field
Am G F D
I'm sure that I told my fair share of lies If not, I bent the truth
Am C F D
But good fortune never was shining on me the way it shone on you
[Chorus 1]
Am C F D
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Am Bm C F
Shock me, I needed a surprise
F D C G
Shock me
[Verse 2]
Am G F D
In a dream, a great calamity
Am G F D
To stone my heart and firm resolve And render nerves to steel
Am G F D
The polestar wheeled about my head Until such time it grew
Am G F D
B deep well of despair I found The day my dreams came true
[Chorus 2]
Am C F D
Shock me, I needed a surprise
Am Bm C F
Shock me, I needed a surprise
F D C G
Shock me
