Intro: E G#m A slide up to B
       E G#m A slide up to B slide down from E*

Verse:
E
Like a sunrise happening at three AM
                                E7
On a walk in the middle of the night
G#m
You may not have a clue
C#m
It's something you just knew
A7                                     B
And something you were always dreaming of
E
But tip your hat towards the sky

And stand back while your tears get dry
                            A
Happiness is always on the move
G#m
You can wonder if it's warm inside
C#m
Stay out till your feet get tired
A                                   E
Watch out for that Shayanni’s Surprise

Chorus:
E                 G#                B
Just because we're waiting for the lottery
E                G#                 B
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free
A
And I've seen illusions
G
But Shayanni's Surprise
F#
Got me right behind the eyes

(It’s the same deal for verse 2 and there’s the break after the second chorus)

Verse 2
Even in the midst of all of life's unpleasant gifts
Someone out there's got it twice as bad
So thank your lucky stars
And take a look at who you are
And never waste another day again
Pin a note upon your sleeve and read it out before you leave
'Cause everybody loves a valentine
But you know just as well as I
That we are all in pantomime
Waiting for our Shayanni’s Surprise

Chorus
Just because we're waiting for the lottery
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free
I've seen illusions
But Shayanni's Surprise
Got me right behind the eyes


Break
The whole break just repeats these four chords:
E  F#  G#m  F#m
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Hoo hoo

Chorus
Just because we're waiting for the lottery
Doesn't mean that we can live our lives for free
I've seen illusions
But Shayanni's Surprise
Got me right behind the eyes
