is about the financial crisis that has been on the [G] air for the last 24 years.
It just hangs in there, you know.
[C] I hate to lose a good song, [A] you know.
[E]
If the United States Congress has [B] got anything to say about it, I can play this [A] song forever.
All right, this is called Surprise, Surprise.
[E]
Well, [A] this world is in a [F#m] sorry [Am] state, it don't work the way it should.
[A] Just when things were looking up, the outlook ain't so good.
[Am] They told you they would [B] fill your cup.
Work hard, they said, you'll never [A] sink too low.
[E] Because the trickle down will float you [D] up.
Surprise, surprise, [A] it ain't so.
[E]
[A] Are you worried about your money?
Of course you are, who wouldn't be?
You thought that you were rich until you turned on your TV.
[Am] You see banks are [B] failing, you start wailing, oh, it [A] can't be [D] so, [A] the bank is strong.
[E] Oh, if you dash to get your [D] cash, surprise, surprise, [A] the money is gone.
[E]
Yeah, [A] the money is gone.

[E] [F#] [D]
[A] [E]
Well, [A] do you think your baby loves you?
Of course she does, but maybe not.
Now that you ain't rich, she might not think of you so high.
[B] To set your [Am] mind at [D] rest, you think it's best you just call her [A] on home.
[E] Whoa, you fear what you might hear, [F#] but surprise, surprise, [A] she ain't at home.
[E] It's two o'clock in the morning, I was at the bank and they got all the bailout money.
So [A] now you think you get religion, you say, Lord, how can this be?
Everything I had is gone, don't do these [G] things to [F#m] me.
[B] Save me just this once and I promise I'll bow down [A] to your will.
[E] You waited for an answer, [F#] but surprise, surprise, you're [A] waiting still.
[E]
Yeah, you're [Am] waiting still.
[E] [Em] [D]
[A] [E]
Well, [Am] these things are [A] not important, they ain't what you think they are.
They'll wear you down with worry, then say close, but no cigar.
It's a [D] coin of common problems, don't bet the farmer on getting them [A] alone.
By [E] the time you get them straightened out, [D] surprise, [A] surprise, you underground.
[E] Yes, you're [Am] six feet down.
By [E] the time you get them straightened [D] out, surprise, [F#] surprise, you [Em]
underground.
