  			  Bm                             G 
I stay up late and read a lot at night 
A                            Bm 
Lately she?s begun to wonder why 
                                          Em 
She don?t know I?m scared that I?ll start talkin? in my sleep  
         A              Bm 
You?re A Hard Secret To Keep. 
 
Bm                            G 
Every time she asks were I?ve been 
  A                     Bm 
A cheater?s paranoida begins 
                            Em 
Scrabblin? for an answer anything she might believe 
         A              Bm 
You?re A Hard Secret To Keep. 
 
Chorus: 
G               A                    Bm 
One slip of the tounges all it would take 
Em                          F#m 
Just one little note that I forgot to throw away 
    Bm                             Em 
The slightest trace of makeup on a shirt that won?t come clean 
         A              Bm 
You?re A Hard Secret To Keep. 
 
G A Bm 
 
Bm                                G 
I never meant for you to touch my heart 
A                                  Bm 
Never meant to take one night this far 
                                Em 
How much longer can I live this double life I lead 
         A              Bm 
You?re A Hard Secret To Keep. 
 
Chorus: 
 
  Bm                            Em 
I wonder if she feels you every time she touches me 
         A              Bm 
You?re A Hard Secret To Keep.
