(Play the opening riff over the verses)
It's your secret 
Why would you tell it to me? 
It's your lover on the television 
Scream why would you not try to be? 
Why would you not try to see? 
Em F G Am Em F G Am
It's about your blue hair 
I want to stay the night with you 
You got the beamiest face 
Car turns right I'm into you 
Right from wrong is not quite seen 
Right from wrong is it everything? 
  C   GIt's your secrAmet F  
  C    GIt's your secAmretF  
Tell it to Cme G  Am  F  
Tell it to Cme G  Am  F  
Don't want to step on the cracks 
The feeling is we didn't 
You got the beamiest face 
Car turns left I'm into you 
Taking sleepy pills for rest 
Anxious love gets so obsessed 
It's your love affair 
On a quiet sunday afternoon 
And your speedy pills 
You should know i'm into you 
Why would you not try to be? 
Why would you not try to see?
