Take Me By Surprise

• G

This song is pretty hard to find, but it is a magnificent piece of work.  So simplistic, 
so deep and moving. -MRG
Not sure if most of the words are correct.  Kind of hard to decipher since it was a live performance.

Take Me By Surprise

EADGBE Tuning

G C Am Dsus2  x2

Verse 1:
G                    C                    Am                Dsus
Sometimes I feel so aimless If I’ve been shameless in my pride
           G                        C              Am               Dsus
That my soul showed.  That I could go on.  Live without you in my life.

Chorus:
C                  Dsus2
All the roads I’ve traveled
       G                 Em
All the mountains I put behind
       C              Dsus2                   G
But still I can’t seem to get you off of my mind
          C              Dsus2       G          Em
And after all the years, baby, the worry and lies
       C                   Dsus2             G
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.
G    F   C    G           G    F   C    G

Verse 2:
G               C                     Am               Dsus2
Time rose past its slumber, but still I wonder what went wrong.
            G             C                 Am         Dsus2
Did I loose you, or did I trade you for a moment or a song

Bridge:
Em                   Am             Dsus               C       G
Ohhh to be here like we once were, like we never will again
Em                  Am           Dsus2
Ohhh. To be sent home used to please me
           C                    G  F  C
Was enough just to be your friend

Chorus:
C                  Dsus2
All the roads I’ve traveled
       G                 Em
All the mountains I put behind
       C              Dsus2                   G
But still I can’t seem to get you off of my mind
          C        Dsus2         G                Em
And after all the years, the pain, the worry and lies
       C                    Dsus2          C
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.
       C                    Dsus2          C         Am       G
And still you’re smile can take me by surprise.
