The signal is subtle

With only subtle turns

The things we feel alone for one another

There is a secret that we keep

I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F Am G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

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

Our act of defiance

We hide within our veins

Am
Until the last resilient hope
F
Has frozen deep inside my bones

And this broken fate has claimed me
F
And my memories for its own
Am
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 Am
There is a secret that we keep
C
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 been forbidden

F Am C
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
F Am G
And you will keep each other warm
F C Am G F
But tonight I am feeling cold
