intro:
C A# F# F#-G# F# F#-G#
C A# F# F#-G# F# F#-G#
verse 1:
G#
The signal is subtle
Fm F#
We pass just close enough to touch
G#
No questions, no answers
Fm F#
We know by now to say enough
G#
With only simple words
Fm F#
With only subtle turns
G#
The things we feel alone for one another
chorus:
F# A#m
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# A#m G#
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# A#m C#
We are compelled to do what we must do
F# A#m G#
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:
G#
Our act of defiance
Fm F#
We keep this secret in our blood
G#
No paper or letters
Fm F#
We pass just close enough to touch
G#
We love in secret names
Fm F#
We hide within our veins
G#
The things that keep us bound to one another
chorus:
F# A#m
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# A#m G#
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# A#m C#
We are compelled to do what we must do
F# A#M G#
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
bridge:
A#m
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
A#m
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# A#m
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# A#m G#
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# A#m C#
We are compelled to do what we have to
F# A#M G#
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
ending:
F# A#m C#
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
F# A#m G#
And you will keep each other warm
F# C# A#m G# F#
But tonight I am feeling cold
