Lyrics

It’s such a small town, girl, news trav els fast er (C)than a sigh.

I (Bm7)Ev ’ry bod y wants to know a bout the (C)next man’s se cret.

So, (Bm7)ev ’ry time we meet up on the street, we’ve (C)got to keep it

like (G)sis ter and broth er.

We’ll (Bm7)wave to each oth er.

We don’t want all the world to know (Am7)we are real ly (C)lov ers.

So, we’ll (G)talk a bout the weath er till (Bm7)we’re a lone to geth er.

Then all the world will fade and die and, (A)ba by, there is (C)on ly you and (G)I.

Some times it’s hard to hide pent up e mo tions (C)we both feel.

I (Bm7)wan na tell the world I love you, but I (C)dare not say it.

Un (Bm7)til he lets you go, there’s on ly one way (C)we can play it:

like (G)sis ter and broth er.

We’ll (Bm7)wave to each oth er.

We don’t want all the world to know (Am7)we are real ly (C)lov ers.

So, we’ll (G)talk a bout the weath er till (Bm7)we’re a lone to geth er.

Then all the world will fade and die and, (A)ba by, there is (C)on ly you and (G)I.

(G)I.

Oh,
