It Took Me By Surprise

Dm I would react badly To the slightest hint of hesitance Dm He'd bend awkwardly to suit my mood No word from his defense Dm I'd cry knowing how my tears Felt like acid burning through his skin Dm Pushed every little button But the right one that would let me in Dm Now he's afraid of me Am Em Now he's afraid of me Am Em It took me by surprise C D The hatred in his eyes Em G I've pushed this man as far as he could go C D But he lacked the words to let me know Em G He acted out, now I can see it is my fault Dm I made changes that went unnoticed Sang songs for deaf ears Dm He mistook my silence for punishment As it had been all these years Dm Dm I’d cry knowing how my tears felt like acid burning through his skin Dm Now he's afraid of me Am Em Now he's afraid of me Am Em It took me by surprise C D The hatred in his eyes Em G I've pushed this man as far as he could go C D But he lacked the words to let me know Em G He acted out, now I can see it is my fault Am Em It took me by surprise C D The hatred in his eyes Em G I've pushed this man as far as he could go C D But he lacked the words to let me know Em G He acted out, now I can see it is my fault
