Secrets In The Telling
Tuning: standard
Capo 1
intro:
C A F F-G F F-G
C A F F-G F F-G
verse 1:
G
The signal is subtle
Em F
We pass just close enough to touch
G
No questions, no answers
Em F
We know by now to say enough
G
With only simple words
Em F
With only subtle turns
G
The things we feel alone for one another
chorus:
F Am
There is a secret that we keep
C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F Am G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F Am C
We are compelled to do what we must do
F Am G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
Em F
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
verse 2:
G
Our act of defiance
Em F
We keep this secret in our blood
G
No paper or letters
Em F
We pass just close enough to touch
G
We love in secret names
Em F
We hide within our veins
G
The things that keep us bound to one another
chorus:
F Am
There is a secret that we keep
C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F Am G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F Am C
We are compelled to do what we must do
F Am G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
bridge:
Am
Until the last resilient hope
F
Has frozen deep inside my bones
C
And this broken fate has claimed me
F
And my memories for its own
Am
Your name is pounding through my veins
F
Can't you hear how it is sung?
C
And I can taste you in my mouth
G
Before the words escape my lungs
C
And I'll whisper only once...
chorus:
F Am
There is a secret that we keep
C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F Am G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F Am C
We are compelled to do what we have to
F Am G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
ending:
F Am C
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
F Am G
And you will keep each other warm
F C Am G F
But tonight I am feeling cold
