    F  G       Dm      G

1. I have a tale to tell,

     F      G                       Dm                  G

    sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well.

F - G                 Dm               G

         I was not ready for the fall,

      F    G                      Dm                 G

    too blind to see the writing on the wall.

 

    Dm                     C                        Dm                        Em

A man can tell a thousand lies, I’ve learned my lesson well,

                F         C                               Am                 G

    hope I live to tell the secret  I  have learned, ’till then

          Am      G         F       - G - Am        Am - F - G    Am - F - G

it will burn inside of me.

 

    F   G                Dm     G

2. I know where beauty lives,

    F       G                    Dm                            G

    I’ve seen it once, I know the warmth she gives.

F - G                       Dm                      G

         The light that you could never see,

    F    G                        Dm                          G

    it shines inside, you can’t take that from me.

 

    Dm                     C                        Dm                        Em

A man can tell a thousand lies, I’ve learned my lesson well,

                F         C                               Am                 G

    hope I live to tell the secret  I  have learned, ’till then

          Am      G         F      - G  - Am    

it will burn inside of me.

        Dm                 C                     Dm                 Em

The truth is never far behind, you kept it hidden well,

     F         C                               Am         G

if I live to tell the secret I knew then, will  I

         Am            G          F        - G - Am ~ ~ ~

ever have the chance again ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

                    F            G                     Am                       Em

    If I ran away, I’d never have the strength to go very far,

                                F            G                   F - Dm

    how would they hear the beating of my hea…..rt ?

                        F             G               Am                    Em

    Will it grow cold, the secret that I hide, will I grow old ?

                             F                                 G                                Am

    How will they hear ?  When will they learn ?  How will they know ?

 

    - G - Dm - G

 

    Dm                     C                        Dm                        Em

A man can tell a thousand lies, I’ve learned my lesson well,

           F         C                                Am                 G

hope I live to tell the secret  I  have learned, ’till then

          Am      G         F      - G - Am    

it will burn inside of me.

 

        Dm                 C                     Dm                 Em

The truth is never far behind, you kept it hidden well,

     F         C                               Am         G

if I live to tell the secret I knew then, will  I

         Am            F         Am

ever have the chance again ?
