CAm
Holy smokes, these future Jokes
FG
You call me on my landline just to blow some smoke
CAm
And tell me that our whole life feels like a hoax
FG
Just like the lunar landing and those talking goats
[Chorus]
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmG
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes?
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmGDm
We’re all so learned and so civilized, my baby
DmAmGG
[Verse 2]
CAm
Holy smokes, these future jokes
FG
Eight billion people spinning just like bicycle spokes
CAm
The cinematic scope of the apocalypse
FG
When it all goes to hell there won’t be nothing left
DmC
But chips and dip in mini-marts
FG
But what’s the shelf life of a broken heart?
[Chorus]
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmG
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes?
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmGDm
We’re all so learned and so civilized, my baby
GDm
Oh, my baby
GDm
Oh, my baby
GDm
Oh, my baby
GDm
Oh, my baby
GFC
Hey, hey, hey, yeah
[Verse 3]
CAm
Holy smokes, these future jokes
FG
Found your number on a scrap of paper in my coat
CAm
The earth has been around for several billion years
F
And all us humans think we’re special but
GDm
We’re nothing but the unshed tears
CFG
Of a distant star, never knowing just who we are
[Chorus]
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmG
Can’t you see it shining in my eyes?
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmG
Our masochism goes so undisguised
GFC
Surprise, surprise, surprise
FAmGDm
We’re all so learned and so civilized, my baby
[Outro]
GDm
Oh, my baby
Oh, my baby
