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

Shock me, I needed a surprise

Shock me, I needed a surprise
A F# Fb B
