Em
I tried to hide a little thought
Am G
The more I tried the worse things got
G Bm
It started out so meek and small
Am G
But in a wink pervaded all
G C
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
G D
By trying to hide if I'd asked it to stay
G C
By trying to hide if I'd made it a bed
G D
from which to rule the world unsaid
C Em
To hide a little thought
C Em
A little vagabond
C Em
A sprite in the dark
C Em
that wouldn't move along
Em
Many thoughts they come and go
Am G
This too shall pass, she'll never know
G Bm
But since my way is bold and free
Am G
She noticed something strange in me
C
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
G D
Maybe my eyes started darting around
G C
Maybe my hands started covering my face
G D
Maybe I rambled all over the place
C Em
To hide a little thought
C Em
A little vagabond
C Em
A sprite in the dark
C Em
that wouldn't move along

I don't say each thing on my mind
Bm A
To say each thing would be unkind
C#m
But with someone I know so well
Bm A
it's so unlike me not to tell
A D
Usually I like confrontations, I do
A E
I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true
A D
I look so lifeless when I try to lie
A E
That's why it's easy to tell when I try
D F#m
To hide a little thought
D F#m
A little vagabond
D F#m
A sprite in the dark
D F#m
That wouldn't move along
