[Chorus]

Got a secret

Can you keep it?

F E

Swear this one you'll save

Am G

Better lock it, in your pocket

Dm Am

Taking this one to the grave

Am G

If I show you then I know you

F E

Won't tell what I said

Am G

Cause two can keep a secret

Dm Am

If one of them is dead…

[Verse]

Am G

Why do you smile

F E

Like you have told a secret

Am G

Now you're telling lies

F E

Cause you're the one to keep it

F E

But no one keeps a secret

F E

No one keeps a secret

Am G F

Why when we do our darkest deeds

Do we tell?

Am G

They burn in our brains

F E

Become a living hell

F E

Cause everybody tells

F E

Everybody tells…

[Chorus]

Got a secret

Can you keep it?

F E

Swear this one you'll save

Am G

Better lock it, in your pocket

Dm Am

Taking this one to the grave

Am G

If I show you then I know you

F E

Won't tell what I said

Am G

Cause two can keep a secret

Dm Am

If one of them is dead…
