It Took Me By Surprise

Am             G
I would react badly
                          F       G
To the slightest hint of hesitance
Dm   C
 Am              G
He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood
              F        G
No word from his defense
Dm   C
 Am              G
I'd cry knowing how my tears
                         F            G
Felt like acid burning through his skin
Dm   C
        Am           G
Pushed every little button
          F                   G
But the right one that would let me in
Dm   C
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me

    Em           G
It took me by surprise
    C            G
The hatred in his eyes
      C          D      Am              G
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
    C             F                G
But he lacked the words to let me know
     C         G                      D    B7
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault

Am       G
I made changes
That went unnoticed
 F                  G
Sang songs for deaf ears
Dm   C
Am              G
He mistook my silence for punishment
F               G
As it had been all these years
Dm   C
    Am             G                       F           G
I'd cry knowingly how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin
Dm   C
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me
    Dm             C
Now he's afraid of me

    Em           G
It took me by surprise
    C            G
The hatred in his eyes
      C          D      Am              G
I've pushed this man as far as he could go
    C             F                G
But he lacked the words to let me know
     C         G                      D    B7   C
He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
