Dm7 C    F Gm7  F  C 
I   have a tale to tell. 
Dm7 C             F  Gm7 
Sometimes it gets so hard 
        F  C    Dm7 C  
to hide it well. 
      F   Gm7          F C  
I was not ready for the fall 
Dm7 C            F      Gm7        C F 
Too blind to see the writing on the wall. 
  Gm7            F 
A man can tell a thousand lies 
     A#/F              Am7 
I've learned my lesson well. 
       A#      F                      Dm7 
Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned 
          Dm7/E   Dm7    C       A# C Dm7 Am7 A# C A# Am7 A# C 
Till then it will burn inside of me. 
Dm7 C    F     Gm7  F  C 
I   know where beauty lives. 
Dm7  C     
I've seen it once 
F Gm7          F   C     Dm7 C 
I know the one she gives. 
          F    Gm7             F  C 
The light that you could never see. 
Dm7 C             F   Gm7             F    C 
It  shines inside you can't take that from me. 
  Gm7            F

     A#/F              Am7

Till then it will burn inside of me. 
    Gm7            F 
The truth is never far behind 
    A#/F           Am7 
you kept it hidden well. 
     A#      F                      Dm7 
If I live to tell the secret I knew then 
      Dm7/E Dm7      C       A# C Dm7 
Will I ever have the chance again? 
C         A#      C               Dm7 
If I ran away I'd never have the strength 
           Am7 
to go very far. 
               A# 
How would they hear 
    C             Am7   A# 
the beating of my heart? 

Will it go cold (will it go cold?) 
    C             Dm7                Am7  
the secret that I hide - will I grow old? 
               A# 
How would they hear? 
               C 
When will they learn.?

How would they know?
