          C          D
I've been taken by surprise
G               Am
Captured by her eyes
C                  Bm
Assaulted with her looks
Em
Battered with her verbal hooks

 
I've been taken by surprise
She's chained me to her side
She's locked me in her tightest grip
And there's no way that I'll let her slip

I've been taken by surprise
I never thought she'd try
To steal my heart and then
Hide it so easily

I've been taken by surprise
Without an alibi
That heart attack came quick
Without a struggle

I've been taken by surprise
Under clear blue skies
Looks like I'm down
For the count

I've been taken by surprise
Lonely days good-bye
Enslaved by my love
for her

I've been taken by surprise
Love her with my eyes
And I don't know how
To show it
