Capo 4
GI know they say it's over, Bmwe can't go on like this
GThe moonlight makes us ardent Dand the sun returns our sense
GBut we ain't much for orders, Bmwe can't go on like this
GBut we can live forever wDith secrets on our lips
GWe work in secret under cover of darkness
BmHands steadied by the weight of our lie
GBroke branches, codes and chalk markings
DI'll leave a trail only you can find
GAll the alleys in Manhattan are gone kid
BmThey sold the shadows when the rent got high
GSo we sneak into the Central Park and
DWork in secret for the rest of the night
GWe work in secret for the rest of the night
BmWe work in secret for the rest of the night
GWe work in secret for the rest of the night
DAnd keep it all a lie
GI know they say it's over, we can't go on like this
BmThe moonlight makes us ardent and the sun returns our sense
GBut we ain't much for orders, we can't go on like this
DBut we can live forever with secrets on our lips
GWe found a crawl space behind the vending machines
BmPressed each other against each other until we fell asleep
GWoken shirtless arm in arm by a cleaning lady's screams
DHer bottom lip was swollen from being pressed between my teeth
GI could have stayed there for weeks hands in her hair
BmHands creeping innocent under the waist of my jeans
GFingertips tracing the shape of our lips
DWe spoke in breaths and that's it
GIt's not a bad life to live making out all day
BmLiving off the food and drinks inside the vending machines
GThe sun's wide awake she rode off on her bike alone
DI never saw here again, we never speak
GThe night before I met the girl I swore would change my life
BmMove across the country try to break a wild horse to a wife
GBut that heartbreak was years away, right?
DAnd this girl was right here with locks to pick and trees to climb
GI remember you well at the Thunderbird motel
BmWe were talking just so strange and so sweet?
GTwo bits will buy you ten on the vibrating bed
DI kissed your skin behind the vending machine
GIf you ask me right now why I never did tell
BmAnyone about our evening with me
GI don't know, hell
D(let ring)
Some secrets are just things that you keep
GI know they say it's over, Bmwe can't go on like this
GThe moonlight makes us ardent Dand the sun returns our sense
GBut we ain't much for orders, Bmwe can't go on like this
GBut we can live forever wDith secrets on our lips
GWith secrets on our lips
BmWith secrets on our lips
GWith secrets on our lips
DWith secrets on our lips

Capo 4

G Bm

I know they say it's over, we can't go on like this

G D

The moonlight makes us ardent and the sun returns our sense

G Bm

But we ain't much for orders, we can't go on like this

G D

But we can live forever with secrets on our lips

We work in secret under cover of darkness

Hands steadied by the weight of our lie

Broke branches, codes and chalk markings

I'll leave a trail only you can find

All the alleys in Manhattan are gone kid

They sold the shadows when the rent got high

So we sneak into the Central Park and

Work in secret for the rest of the night

We work in secret for the rest of the night

And keep it all a lie

I know they say it's over, we can't go on like this

The moonlight makes us ardent and the sun returns our sense

But we ain't much for orders, we can't go on like this

But we can live forever with secrets on our lips

We found a crawl space behind the vending machines

Pressed each other against each other until we fell asleep

Woken shirtless arm in arm by a cleaning lady's screams

Her bottom lip was swollen from being pressed between my teeth

I could have stayed there for weeks hands in her hair

Hands creeping innocent under the waist of my jeans

Fingertips tracing the shape of our lips

We spoke in breaths and that's it

It's not a bad life to live making out all day

Living off the food and drinks inside the vending machines

The sun's wide awake she rode off on her bike alone

I never saw here again, we never speak

The night before I met the girl I swore would change my life

Move across the country try to break a wild horse to a wife

But that heartbreak was years away, right?

And this girl was right here with locks to pick and trees to climb

I remember you well at the Thunderbird motel

We were talking just so strange and so sweet?

Two bits will buy you ten on the vibrating bed

I kissed your skin behind the vending machine

If you ask me right now why I never did tell

Anyone about our evening with me

I don't know, hell

(let ring)

Some secrets are just things that you keep

G Bm

I know they say it's over, we can't go on like this

G D

The moonlight makes us ardent and the sun returns our sense

G Bm

But we ain't much for orders, we can't go on like this

G D

But we can live forever with secrets on our lips

With secrets on our lips
