surprise"

A A 
 
like the autumn   leaves
Em Em 
 
Badd9 Badd9 
 
Dmaj7 Dmaj7

A A 
 
into the crowd
Em Em 
 
Badd9 Badd9 
 
And the people grieve with     me

since the towers   came down,

down

Badd9 Badd9 
 
You could cut the pollution
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 
 
A A 
 
with a butter   knife

Badd9 Badd9 
 
You could wake up at two
Dmaj7 Dmaj7 
 
A A 
 
and then party    all night
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
But I'm missing my mama
G G

so I'll stand on the street and get

Dmaj7 Dmaj7
