[Verse 1]
E A E
Once the gatekeepers decided
C#m
We would fade into the crowd
F#m E
You took what makes you charming
G#m7 F#m
And you turned it up too loud
B E
Now how many songs does the band have to get through
E A F#m
Before you steal away the mic?
D F#m
How many cakes do you have to jump out of
Gm E
Before no one yells "surprise"?
[Verse 2]
E A E
I remember us both learning
C#m
That no one's dreams come true
F#m E
They're either not quite how you saw them
G#m7 F#m
Or the goalpost just gets moved
B E
That's when you changed your expectations
E A F#m
And started rolling your third eye
D F#m
But you still don't know the ending
Gm E
You can't spoil the surprise
[Verse 3]
E A E
And now the nature of your birthday parties
C#m
Changed a lot for me
F#m E
What was once a celebration
G#m7 F#m
Feels like a shameless victory
B E
I guess we all confuse our happiness
E A F#m
With what it takes to just survive
D F#m
But the moment that the switch gets flipped
Gm E
Is always a surprise
