Em
I tried to hide a little thought
Am                               G
The more I tried the worse things got
G                          Bm
It started out so meek and small
Am                    G
But in a wink pervaded all


G                                C
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
            G                       D
By trying to hide if I'd asked it to stay
           G                     C
By trying to hide if I'd made it a bed
             G              D
from which to rule the world unsaid


C               Em
To hide a little thought
 C           Em
A little vagabond
 C             Em
A sprite in the dark
    C               Em
that wouldn't move along


                           Em
Many thoughts they come and go
Am                               G
This too shall pass, she'll never know
G                           Bm
But since my way is bold and free
Am                              G
She noticed something strange in me


                                   C
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
        G                      D
Maybe my eyes started darting around
        G                         C
Maybe my hands started covering my face
       G                    D
Maybe I rambled all over the place


C               Em
To hide a little thought
 C           Em
A little vagabond
 C             Em

Break: Em, Am, G, Bm, Am, G, A, D, A, E, A, D, A, E, D, F#m, D, F#m, D, F#m, D, F#m

                            F#m
I don't say each thing on my mind
Bm                           A
To say each thing would be unkind
                          C#m
But with someone I know so well
Bm                      A
it's so unlike me not to tell

A                               D
Usually I like confrontations, I do
          A                           E
I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true
         A                      D
I look so lifeless when I try to lie
               A                   E
That's why it's easy to tell when I try


D               F#m
To hide a little thought
 D           F#m
A little vagabond
 D             F#m
A sprite in the dark
    D               F#m
That wouldn't move along
