Open Secret 
Intro:    C   F     C    C   F  C  
GDoes eFveryoCne have their dark side
Like the GbackFside Cof a lover's moon
Do we Gcry out foFr jusCtice at sunrise
To be Gcleansed by coFnfessCions at noon, have Mercy
CStill mAmy heart is an open secret
CSomeone tFell me have I beCen FgiCfted Cor FrCobbed
Just as we seem to end the one act play
We draw so much farther apart
Each new opening, a different time for closing
Will I sing my last symphony to an empty room?
Still my heart...
Most of my life has gone up and down
And I don't see no reason for all this pain
Who was it said, "Life is too short"
All this hurtin' just makes it seem a shame
Still my heart...

Does everyone have their dark side

G F C

Like the backside of a lover's moon

G F C

Do we cry out for justice at sunrise

G F C

To be cleansed by confessions at noon, have Mercy

C Am

Still my heart is an open secret

C F C F C C F C

Someone tell me have I been gifted or robbed

Just as we seem to end the one act play

We draw so much farther apart

Each new opening, a different time for closing

Will I sing my last symphony to an empty room?

Still my heart...

Most of my life has gone up and down

And I don't see no reason for all this pain

Who was it said, "Life is too short"

All this hurtin' just makes it seem a shame

Still my heart...
