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?
