Verso 1   
(D)                                              (Asus2)   
I've practiced this for hours, gone round and round   
                                    (Bm)   
And now I think that I've got it all down   
                                      (G)   
And as I say it louder, I love how it sounds   
                                    (E)   
'Cause I'm not taking the easy way out   

Not wrapping this in ribbons   
                  (G)   
Shouldn't have to give a reason why   


coro 1   
        (D)   
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow   
          (Asus2)   
I can't believe that I stayed till today   
            (Bm)   
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow   
      (G)              (E)             (D)   
But I know in time we'll find this was no surprise   



Verso 2   
(D)                                      (Asus2)   
It came out like a river once I let it out   
                                    (Bm)   
When I thought that I wouldn't know how   
                                      (G)   
Held onto it forever, just pushing it down   
                             (E)   
Felt so good to let go of it now   

Not wrapping this in ribbons   
                  (G)   
Shouldn't have to give a reason why   



coro 2   
        (D)   
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow   
          (Asus2)   
I can't believe that I stayed till today   
                (Bm)   
There's nothing here in this heart left to borrow   
                (G)                     (Asus2)   
There's nothing here in this soul left to say   
         (D)   
Don't be surprised when we hate this tomorrow   
             (Asus2)   
God knows we tried to find an easier way   
            (Bm)   
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow   
      (G)              (Asus2)             (D)   
But I know in time we'll find   


Caida   
(D)   
Our favorite place we used to go   
    (Asus2)   
The warm embrace that no one knows   
    (Bm)   
The loving look that's left your eyes   
       (G)            (Asus2)       (D)   
That's why this comes as no, as no surprise   


Verso 3   
(D)                                            (Asus2)   
If I could see the future and how this plays out   
                                    (Bm)   
I bet it's better than where we are now   
                                             (G)   
But after going through this, it's easier to see the reason why   


coro:   
        (D)   
It's no surprise I won't be here tomorrow   
          (Asus2)   
I can't believe that I stayed till today   
            (Bm)   
Yeah you and I will be a tough act to follow   
      (G)              (Asus2)             D   
But I know in time we'll find   

Caida  
(D)

    (Asus2)   
The warm embrace that no one knows
