 (INTRO) (2) (3) ^ ^ ^-^ (2X)

I have a tale to tell

Sometimes it gets so hard - to hide it well

I was not ready - for the fall

Too blind to see the writing - on the wall

Chorus

A man can tell a thousand lies

I've learned my lesson well

 Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then

 It will burn inside of me

 (INTRO) (2) (3) ^ ^ ^-^ (2X)

I know where beauty lives

I've seen it once, - I know the warm she gives

The light that you could never see

It shines inside - you can't take that - from me

Chorus

A man can tell a thousand lies

I've learned my lesson well

 Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then

 It will burn inside of me

Chorus

2):

 The truth is never far behind

You kept it hidden well

 If I live to tell The secret I knew then Will I

 ever have the chance again

D2 (2) (3) [LENTO]

(Bridge):

  Lam7

I ran away, - I'd never have the strength - To go very far

 How would they hear - the beating of my heart

  Lam7

Will it grow cold - The secret that I hide, - will I grow old

 How will they hear - When will they learn - How will they know
