intro:

C Bb F# F#-Ab F# F#-Ab
C Bb F# F#-Ab F# F#-Ab

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

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

Fm                  F#
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

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

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

bridge:
          Bbm
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
             Bbm
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
           Ab
Before the words escape my lungs
          C#
And I'll whisper only once...

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

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