F#m

[Intro]

A A

Love is a secret

That everyone knows

Love is a chime that rings

F#m E

When the wind blows

Keep yourself honest

So it can grow

'Cause when you've lost it

F#m A E

Your heart turns cold

Isn't it so?

(let ring)

I remember the first girl

That I really loved

However it hurt her

F#m E

She loved me enough

I wanted to wander

She knew I would go

She shed a tear knowin'

F#m E

That I'd be alone

Wasn't it so?

F#m E A

Painfully I was most aware how

Very unfair it was

F#m

Leavin' her suddenly just like that

Goin' God knows where I was

Chasing a rainbow

She understood

She was a prophet

F#m E

She told me I should

Follow my heart

Like I'd been told

Seek out your vision

A E

Before you get old

Isn't it so?

[Solo]

A E F#m E

Now many years later

I finally see

How much she did love me

F#m E

She set me free

Her last few dollars

Put gas in my car

She said "Promise to write me

D F#m E

Wherever you are"

From out on the highway

I think I wrote twice

I always remembered

F#m D E

Her simple advice

Love is a secret

That everyone knows

Try too hard to hide it

F#m E

It never will show

D A

Isn't it so

[Solo]

A E F#m E

How did she know?
