[Verse]
C#mThe first time that he caG#mme to me I was yoC#mung boy little did I not G#mbelieve
I had a C#mhole in my heart and I was lG#mooking for the missing piC#meceF#m G#m
C#mThe next time I was pG#mrivy to their dirty seC#mcrets, all their little hidG#mden clues
And when I C#madded it up I knew a lG#mittle but a little won't doC#m F#m G#m
[Pre-Chorus]
F#mCan anybody out there tG#mell me something trC#mueF#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
F#mPreferably something that nG#mo one can dispuC#mteF#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
F#mWhen everybody's spilling lG#mife-long secrets
GI'm betting safely on the G#mman who will keep hisG#m G#m
G#mDespite his weaknessG#m G#m
G#mHe'll take his G#msecrets to the gC#mrave
[Chorus]
C#mI took the Emedicine, but the Apills won't Ework
The Apills they don't do Eanything but Brearrange all the Alittlest things
And C#mI know a lEittle bit but that bAit won't dEo
The Abit I know is irErelevant
So the Bsongs I sing are irArelevant too and G7oh

C#m G#m C#m G#m
The first time that he came to me I was young boy little did I not believe
C#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
I had a hole in my heart and I was looking for the missing piece
C#m G#m C#m G#m
The next time I was privy to their dirty secrets, all their little hidden clues
C#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
And when I added it up I knew a little but a little won't do
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
Can anybody out there tell me something true
F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
Preferably something that no one can dispute
F#m G#m
When everybody's spilling life-long secrets
G G#m G#m G#m
I'm betting safely on the man who will keep his
G#m G#m G#m
Despite his weakness
G#m G#m C#m
He'll take his secrets to the grave
[Chorus]
C#m E A E
I took the medicine, but the pills won't work
A E B A
The pills they don't do anything but rearrange all the littlest things
C#m E A E
And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
A E
The bit I know is irrelevant
B A G7
So the songs I sing are irrelevant too and oh

[Verse]
C#m G#m C#m
And though I know it'll never ever come to this I have a secret
G#m C#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
And that secret is there was a lie that I told myself 'till it becC#me the truth
C#m G#m C#m
And rest assured there is a plan B on my mind
G#m C#m
If all the webs I weave should ever come to unwind
G#m C#m F#m G#m
But if I won't well I've plenty of time
[Pre-Chorus]
F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
Can anybody out there tell me something true
F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m C#m F#m G#m
Preferably something that no one can dispute
F#m G#m
When everybody's spilling life-long secrets
G G#m G#m G#m
I'm betting safely on the man who will keep his
G#m G#m G#m
Despite his weakness
G#m G#m C#m
He'll take his secrets to the grave
[Chorus]
C#m E A E

C#m E A E
And I know a little bit but that bit won't do
A E
The bit I know is irrelevant
B A E
So I guess this song is irrelevant too and
[Bridge]
E B C#m A E
We will leave this all behind
E B C#m A E
So get your fill while you're alive
E B C#m A E
And I don't know where the lies end and the truth begins
E B C#m A E7 E7 B
Don't listen to anyone telling you anything is the truth, it's all relative
C#m E G#m
* * *
I still believe in mysteries
C#m E G#m C#m
* *
And all that lies in reveries
C#m E F#m G#m C#m
And though they'll lay my body in the ground
C#m E F#m A E11
I plan to never settle down
