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