When I hold you in my arms at night, don't you know you're sleeping in the spotlight
F#m Bm-E-F#m
And all your dreams that you keep inside
F#m Bm-E-F#m
You're telling me the secrets that you just can't hide
F#m E
You tell me that you want me, you tell me that you need me

When you close your eyes and go to sleep
And it's down to the sound of a heartbeat
I can hear the things that you're dreaming about
When you open up your heart
And the truth comes out
You tell me that you want me
You tell me that you need me
You tell me that you love me
And I know that I'm right
Cuz I hear it in the night
I hear the secrets that you keep
When you're talking in your sleep
When I hold you in my arms at night
Don't you know you're sleeping in the spotlight
And all your dreams that you keep inside
You're telling me the secrets
That you just can't hide
When you close your eyes and you fall asleep
Everything about you is a mystery

version 3
Standard Tuning
Three dashes = 1/8 note
I've tabbed this song with three guitar parts:
Guitar 1 -- Clean, thin telecaster-like sound
Guitar 2 -- Clean, thin telecaster-like sound
Guitar 3 -- Clean but fuller sound with Chorus effect
For the intro, there are definitely three guitars.
