C5 A5 This street holds its secrets C5 A5 like a cobra holds its kill C5 A5 This street minds its business C5 A5 like a jailer minds his jail F5 G5 That house there is haunted C5 A5 That door's a portal to hell F5 G5 This street holds its secrets C5 A5 very well second verse same pattern That man wears his skin like a dancer wears her veils That man stalks his victims like a cancer stalks a cell That man's soul has left him his heart's as deadly as a rusty nail That man sheds his skin like a veil Bridge D5 G5 C5 A5 Lord, you play a hard game, you know we follow every rule C5 C5 F5 G5 Then you take the one thing we thought we'd never lose D5 A5 C5 F5 All I ask is if she's with you please keep her warm and safe F5 G5 And if it's in your power please purge the memory of this place Third Verse same as others This life holds its secrets like a sea shell holds the sea, Soft and distant calling like a fading memory This life has its victories but its defeats tear so viciously This life holds its secrets like the sea The album version just fades on the C Am so just end it where you feel like. I usually end on a C.
