Capo 1st fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

The signal is subtle

We pass just close enough to touch

No questions, no answers

We know by now to say enough

With only simple words

With only subtle turns

The things we feel alone for one another

Chorus

 There is a secret that we keep

 I won't sleep if you won't sleep

 Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

 We are compelled to do what we must do

 We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

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

Verse 2

Our act of defiance

We keep this secret in our blood

No paper or letters

We pass just close enough to touch

We love in secret names

We hide within our veins

The things that keep us bound to one another

Chorus

 There is a secret that we keep

 I won't sleep if you won't sleep

 Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

 We are compelled to do what we must do

 We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Bridge

 Until the last resilient hope

 Has frozen deep inside my bones

 And this broken fate has claimed me

 And my memories for its own

 Your name is pounding through my veins

 Can't you hear how it is sung?

 And I can taste you in my mouth

 Before the words escape my lungs

 And I'll whisper only once...

Chorus

 There is a secret that we keep

 I won't sleep if you won't sleep

 Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

 We are compelled to do what we have to

 We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

ending:

 'Cause you will be somebody's girl

 And you will keep each other warm

 But tonight I am feeling cold
