intro:
C Bb F# F# Ab F# F#-Ab
C Bb F# F# Ab F# F#-Ab
verse 1:
Ab
The signal is subtle
F F#
We pass just close enough to touch
Ab
No questions, no answers
F F#
We know by now to say enough
Ab
With only simple words
F F#
With only subtle turns
Ab
The things we feel alone for one another
F# Bb
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# Bb Ab
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# Bb C#
We are compelled to do what we must do
F# Bb Ab
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
F F#
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
verse 2:
Ab
Our act of defiance
F F#
We keep this secret in our blood
Ab
No paper or letters
F F#
We pass just close enough to touch
Ab
We love in secret names
F F#
We hide within our veins
Ab
The things that keep us bound to one another
F# Bb
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# Bb Ab
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# Bb C#
We are compelled to do what we must do
F# Bb Ab
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
bridge:
Bb
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
Bb
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
Ab
Before the words escape my lungs
C#
And I'll whisper only once...
F# Bb
There is a secret that we keep
C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
F# Bb Ab
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
F# Bb C#
We are compelled to do what we have to
F# Bb Ab
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
ending:
F# Bb C#
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
F# Bb Ab
And you will keep each other warm
F# C# Bb Ab F#
But tonight I am feeling cold
