NOTES:
In the final verse, you can hold these pauses as long you wish; just go out
there...! The fill is a cool way to enter the final CHORUS, too.
Timing is 4/4.


VERSE:
Chords:
E          022100    A    x77650
Amaj7      x02120    C/G  332010

E               Amaj7   [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]               
  I'm not gonna say
                 E               Amaj7    [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
You ever stop to think along the way

           E        F#m7add11       A
Baby be prepared to           be surprised
                E        F#m7add11       A
You gotta be prepared to           be surprised
             E        F#m7add11       A
Honey, be prepared to           be surprised
           C/G F#7 E
And that's all I   know


VERSE:
I'm not going to state                [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
Obvious observations everybody makes  [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
But baby, be prepared to be surprised
Baby, be prepared to be surprised
You better be prepared to be surprised
It's all I know


BRIDGE:
Chords:
G#m    x66444    Em/G   322000
F#m    x44222    C      x32010
A      x77650

    G#m           F#m           A            Em/G
The weight of the world and the hurt and the dirt
    G#m         F#m          A            C      F#7
Can make you disturbed but I heard, but I heard


[Alternative: instead of playing C - F#7 on "heard", play the
  following fill to lead straight into the CHORUS; it's so cool!]

E                      Bm 
  When I wrap my arms around you
A                     Am(maj7)add6
Every mistake that we make         crumbles

A                   Am(maj7)add6

VERSE:
I'm not gonna whine                         [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
Or scream out I'm so tired through the mic  [pause: 2-3-4 1-2]
But baby, be prepared to be surprised
Baby, be prepared to be surprised
You got to be prepared to be surprised
It's all I know


[repeat BRIDGE w/ fill]
