Lyrics
And ah ho,
and ah ho.
I’ve prac ticed this for hours, gone round and round,
and now I think that I’ve got it all down.
And as I say it loud er, I love how it sounds.
’Cause I’m not tak in’ the eas y way out,
not wrap pin’ this in rib bons, should n’t have to (Ab)give a rea son why.
It’s no sur (Eb)prise I won’t be here to mor row,
I can’t be (Bb)lieve that I stayed ’til to day.
Yeah, you and (Cm)I will be a tough act to fol low,
there’s but I (Ab)know in time we’ll (Bb7)find this was no sur prise.
It came out like a riv er once I let it out,
when I thought that I would n’t know how.
Held on to it for ev er just push in’ it down,
felt so good to let go of it now.
Not wrap pin’ this in rib bons, should n’t have to (Ab)give a rea son why.
It’s no sur (Ab)here in this soul left to say.
Don’t be sur (Eb)prised when we hate this to mor row,
God knows we (Bb)tried to find an eas i er way.
Yeah, you and (Cm)I will be a tough act to fol low,
but I (Ab)know in time we’ll (Bb7)find this was no Our sur fav prise.
’rite place we used to go, the warm em brace that no one knows, the lov ing look that’s left your eyes, that’s why this comes as no,
as no sur prise.
If I could see the fu ture and how this plays out,
I bet it’s bet ter than where we are now.
But af ter go in’ through this, it’s eas i er to (Ab)see the rea son why.
It’s no sur (Eb)prise I won’t be here to mor row,
I can’t be (Bb)lieve that I stayed ’til to day.
Yeah, you and (Cm)I will be a tough act to fol low,
but I (Ab)know in time we’ll (Bb7)find this was no Our sur fav prise.
’rite place we used to go, the warm em brace that no one knows, the lov ing look that’s left your eyes.
But I (Ab)know in time we’ll (Bb)find this was no sur prise.
