verse 1: 
Ab5  
The signal is subtle 
F5            F#5 
We pass just close enough to touch 
Ab5 
No questions, no answers 
F5          F#5 
We know by now to say enough 
Ab5 
With only simple words 
F5         F#5 
With only subtle turns 
Ab5 
The things we feel alone for one another 
           F#5             Bb5                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C#5 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#5               Bb5                   Ab5 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
           F#5       Bb5      C#5 
We are compelled to do what we must do 
          F#5                Bb5              Ab5 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden  
F5                   F#5 
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight 
 
verse 2: 
Ab5 
Our act of defiance 
F5            F#5 
We keep this secret in our blood 
Ab5 
No paper or letters 
F5            F#5 
We pass just close enough to touch 
Ab5 
We love in secret names 
F5           F#5 
We hide within our veins 
Ab5 
The things that keep us bound to one another 
           F#5             Bb5                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C#5 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#5               Bb5                   Ab5 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
          F#5        Bb5      C#5 
We are compelled to do what we must do 
          F#5                Bb5              Ab5 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden  

bridge: 
          Bb5 
Until the last resilient hope 
           F#5 
Has frozen deep inside my bones 
         C#5 
And this broken fate has claimed me 
       F#5 
And my memories for its own 
             Bb5 
Your name is pounding through my veins 
          F#5 
Can't you hear how it is sung? 
          C#5 
And I can taste you in my mouth 
           Ab5 
Before the words escape my lungs 
          C#5 
And I'll whisper only once... 
           F#5             Bb5                 
There is a secret that we keep 
        C#5 
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 
          F#5               Bb5                   Ab5 
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given 
          F#5        Bb5         C#5 
We are compelled to do what we have to 
          F#5                Bb5              Ab5 
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden  

ending: 
                F#5     Bb5    C#5 
'Cause you will be somebody's girl 
             F#5        Bb5    Ab5 
And you will keep each other warm 
      F#5         C#5      Bb5   Ab5   F#5 
But tonight I am feeling cold
