B     F#m      B                          F#m             B 
I have a tale to tell, sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well 
B           F#m          B                          F#m            B 
I was not ready for the fall, too blind to see the writing on the wall 
          F#m               E                   G#m             F#m 
        A man can tell a thousand lies,  I've learned my lesson well 
                A        E             F#m                  G#m 
        Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then 
                E      B       A 
        It will burn inside of me 
   B            F#m     B                        F#m               B 
I know where beauty lives, I've seen it once, I know the one she gives 
      B          F#m            B 
The light that you could never see 
     B               F#m                B 
It shines inside you can't take that from me 
          F#m               E                   F#m             E 
        A man can tell a thousand lies,  I've learned my lesson well 
                C#m                     E                    B 
        Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then 
                C#m             A     C#m 
        It will burn inside of me 
     F#m            E                   F#m           E 
The truth is never far behind, you've kept it hidden well 
              C#m               E             B 
If I live to tell the secret I knew then will I 
      C#m        B      A       C#m 
Ever have the chance again 
                   A         B              C#m                Abm 
        If I ran away, I'd never have the strength to go very far 
                        A         B            Abm     C#m 
        How would they hear the beating of my heart 
                       A        B              C#m               Abm 
        Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide.  Will I grow old? 
                        A                     B                     C#m 
        How will they hear?  When will they learn?  How will they know? 
  F#m               E                   F#m             E 
A man can tell a thousand lies,  I've learned my lesson well

Hope I live to tell the secret I have learned till then 
        C#m             A     C#m 
It will burn inside of me
