[A] [Bm]
I stay up late and read a lot [G] at night
[A] Lately she's begun to wonder [Bm] why
She don't know I'm scared that I'll start [Em] talking in my sleep
You're [A] a hard secret [Bm] to keep
And every time she asks me where [D] I've been
The [G]
[A] cheater's paranoia [Bm] begins
[B] Scrambling for an [Bm] answer, [Em] anything she might believe
You're [A] a hard secret [Bm] to keep
One [G] slip of the [A] tongue's all it [B] would [Bm] take
[Em] Just one little note that I [F#] forgot to throw away
[Bm] The slightest trace of makeup [D] on [Em] a shirt won't come clean
You're [A] a hard secret [Bm] to keep
[G]
