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