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