[Verse]
Am E Am E
The first time that he came to me I was young boy little did I not believe
Am E Am Dm E
I had a hole in my heart and I was looking for the missing piece
Am E Am E
The next time I was privy to their dirty secrets, all their little hidden clues
Am E Am Dm E
And when I added it up I knew a little but a little won't do
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm E Am Dm E Am Dm E
Can anybody out there tell me something true
Dm E Am Dm E Am Dm E
Preferably something that no one can dispute
Dm E
When everybody's spilling life-long secrets
G E E E
I'm betting safely on the man who will keep his
(E) E E
Despite his weakness
(E) E x Am
He'll take his secrets to the grave
[Chorus]
(Am) C F C
I took the medicine, but the pills won't work
F C G F
The pills they don't do anything but rearrange all the littlest things
Am C F C
And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
F C
The bit I know is irrelevant
G F E7
So the songs I sing are irrelevant too and oh
[Solo]

[Verse]
Am E Am
And though I know it'll never ever come to this I have a secret
E Am E Am Dm E
And that secret is there was a lie that I told myself 'till it became the truth
Am E Am
And rest assured there is a plan B on my mind
E Am
If all the webs I weave should ever come to unwind
E Am Dm E
But if I won't well I've plenty of time
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm E Am Dm E Am Dm E
Can anybody out there tell me something true
Dm E Am Dm E Am Dm E
Preferably something that no one can dispute

When everybody's spilling life-long secrets

(E) E E
Despite his weakness

He'll take his secrets to the grave

And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
F C
The bit I know is irrelevant
G F C
So I guess this song is irrelevant too and...
[Bridge]
(C) G Am F C
We will leave this all ... behind
(C) G Am F C
So get your fill while you're ... alive
(C) G Am F C
And I don't know where the lies end and the truth begins
(C) G Am F E7 ... E7 G
Don't listen to anyone telling you anything is the truth, it's all relative
Am* C* E*
I still believe in mysteries
Am* C* E Am
And all that lies in reveries
(Am) C Dm E Am
And though they'll lay my body in the ground
(Am) C Dm F E7
I plan to never settle down
