Lyrics

Let me (F)know that I’ve done wrong when I’ve (Eb5)known this all a long.

I go a round a time or two just to (Eb5)waste my time with you.

Tell me all that you’ve thrown a way.

Find out games you don’t wan na play.

You are the on ly (F5)one that needs to know.

(Bb5)I’ll keep you my (Ebsus2)dirt y lit tle se cret, (G5)dirt y lit tle se cret.

Don’t tell an y (Bb5)one or you’ll be (Ebsus2)just an oth er re gret, (G5)just an oth er re gret.

(F5)Hope that you can keep it my (Ebsus2)dirt y lit tle se cret.

Who has to know?

When we (F)live such fra gile lives it’s the best way we sur vive.

I go a round a time or two just to (Eb)waste my time with you.

Those thoughts I can’t de (Bb5)ny.

These sleep ing dogs won’t (F5)lie

and now I try to lie.

It’s (Bb)eat ing me a part.
