Lyrics

(Dm)I (C)have (F)a (Gm)tale (F)to (C)tell. (Dm)Some (C)times it gets so (F)hard to hide it (F)well. I was (F)not (Gm)read y for the (F)fall. (Dm)Too (C)blind to see (F)the writ ing on the (F)wall. A (Gm7)man can tell a thou sand lies; I’ve (Gm7)learned my les son well. Hope I (Bb)live to tell the se cret I have learned. Till (Bb)then, (C)it will (Dm)burn in (C)side of me. (Dm)I (C)know (F)where (Gm)beau (F)ty (C)lives. (Dm)I’ve (C)seen it once, I (F)know the warmth she (F)gives. The light (F)that (Gm)you could nev er (F)see. (Dm)It (C)shines in side, (F)you can’t take that from (F)me. A (Gm7)man can tell a thou sand lies; I’ve (Gm7)learned my les son well. Hope I (Bb)live to tell the se cret I have learned. Till (Bb)then, (C)it will (Dm)burn in (C)side of me. The (Gm7)truth is nev er far be hind; you (Gm7)kept it hid den well. If (Bb)I live to tell the se cret I knew then, will (Bb)I (C)ev er (Dm)have the chance a gain? If I ran a way, I’d nev er have the strength to go ver y far. How would they hear the beat ing of my heart? Will it grow cold, the se cret that I hide? Will I grow old? How will they hear, when will they learn, how will they (Dm)know? A
