Secret Love - Hunter Hayes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tabbed by: Crazyhayniac
Tuning: Standard
I didn't see any tabs for this song so I figured it out myself, although there's no telling how accurate it
is! Please comment and rate! God bless :)
**Notes** You don't have to read my long list of notes but it would probably help a little if you did! ;)
Intro: I tabbed out the intro incase you'd rather play it that way instead of just strumming,(I think it
sounds better that way.) I know the intro's not completely accurate but I think it sounds close enough. The
way I tabbed the intro is just my way of playing it, nothing says you can't change it to make it sound
the way you want! Also, when I play the intro, after I pick the B string (1st fret) and the G string
(2nd fret) I quickly hit both the strings to mute them before picking them a second time. I think doing that
makes it sound more like the song, listen to the song if you don't understand what I mean...
Verse: When I play the verses I either pick or palm mute. (If you want to know my picking pattern for the
verses just let me know and I'll make a tab!)
Chorus & Bridge: I struggled a little with the chorus and the bridge, so forgive me if I've made any
mistakes! Also, feel free to make corrections because that would be SO helpful! Listen to the song to get
the strumming patterns.
Outro: For the outro I pretty much use the same picking pattern as the intro, except I strum the last
chord (Am.)

INTRO: Am, F x4
1ST VERSE:
Am F
We get so close but we never touch, gotta wear this mask for just long enough
Am D7
to get away from all the eyes that stare us down.
Am F
Like two criminals with a dream to steal, not a trace to be found of the way we feel.
Am Dm7 -Stop
With our hearts on line, we give in and we get away.
CHORUS:
C F Am C Dm
Secret love, all the things we do, secret love, baby me and you, Got a secret looooooove.
C F Am C Dm
Staying undercover and out of sight, if nobody knows, then we're doing it right. Secret loooooove
Am C Dm
Got a secret looooooove
2ND VERSE:
Am F
When you're living a life that you gotta deny, when you feel how we feel, but you gotta keep lying,
Am D7
It's only gonna mess you up inside.
Am F
When we walk by each other in a crowded room, and nobody sees how I'm looking at you,
Am Dm7
But we'll meet in a minute at the rendezvous. Only you know what I mean.
CHORUS:
C F Am C Dm
Secret love, all the things we do, secret love, baby me and you, Got a secret looooooove.
C F Am C Dm
Staying undercover and out of sight, if nobody knows, then we're doing it right. Secret looooooove
Am C Dm
Got a secret looooooove
BRIDGE:
Am F Dm7 Dm
We're in love but nobody knows. We're in love but nobody knows. We're in love but nobody knows it, yeah.
Am F Dm7 Dm
Are we in love if nobody knows? Yeah are we in love if nobody knows? Are we in love if nobody knows it yeah?
Dm Am F
I guess it's a secreeeet.
Dm7 Dm
Oh yeah, woo
CHORUS:
C F Am C Dm
Our secret love, all the things we do, secret love, baby me and you, got a secret love, love, love.
C F Am C Dm

Oh, yeah now, oh no, Are we in love if nobody knows? Are we in love if nobody knows

Are we in love if nobody knows? Well I guess it's a secret.
