Capo 1

intro:

C A F F-G F F-G
C A F F-G F F-G

verse 1:
G 
The signal is subtle
Em           F
We pass just close enough to touch
G
No questions, no answers
Em         F
We know by now to say enough
G
With only simple words
Em        F
With only subtle turns
G
The things we feel alone for one another


chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep
        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we must do
          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Em                  F
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight


verse 2:
G
Our act of defiance
Em           F
We keep this secret in our blood
G
No paper or letters
Em           F
We pass just close enough to touch
G
We love in secret names
Em          F
We hide within our veins
G
The things that keep us bound to one another


chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep
        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we must do
          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden


bridge:
          Am
Until the last resilient hope
           F
Has frozen deep inside my bones
         C
And this broken fate has claimed me
       F
And my memories for its own
             Am
Your name is pounding through my veins
          F
Can't you hear how it is sung?
          C
And I can taste you in my mouth
           G
Before the words escape my lungs
          C
And I'll whisper only once...


chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep
        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we have to
          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden


ending:
                F      Am     C
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
             F         Am    G
And you will keep each other warm
      F          C       Am   G   F
But tonight I am feeling cold
