[Intro]
G   Gmaj7x2
GFools on Cmparade cavort and carry Emon
For waiting Bmeyes
Ones you would Amrather be beside than in Bmfront of
But she's Amnever been the kind to be Bmhollowed by the stares
[Instrumental]
Em   Bm   G   Dx4
[Verse]
She Emswam out Bmof toniGght's phanDtasm
EmGrabbed my Bmhand and Gmade it Dvery clEmearBm  
There's Gabsolutely nDothing for us EmhereBm  G  D  
It's a Emmagnolia celeBmbration
To be Gattended on a Wednesday Dnight
It's Embetter that than get a repBmutation
As a Gmiserable little Dtyke
At lEmeast that's the concBmlusion
She cGame to in this DovertEmureBm  G  
Em G Bm
[Chorus]
BmThe secret door swings Embehind us
She's saying Amnothing
She's just Ggiggling Bmalong
[Verse]
Her Emarms were Bmfolded mGost indiDgnant
EmNot looBmking like Gshe was Dsoon to lEmeaveBm  
I Ghad to squint in Dorder to belEmieveBm  G  D  
And then like a Embutler pushing on a Bmbookshelf
And unGveiling the unexDpected
EmI who was earlier reBmluctant was suddenGly embarrassed and corDrected.
EmHow could such a Bmcreature sGurvive in such a DhabiEmtat?Bm  G  
Em G Bm
[Chorus]
BmThe secret door swings beEmhind us
She's saying Amnothing
She's just Emgiggling along
BmEven if they were to Emfind us
I wouldn't Amnotice, I'm comBmpletely occuDpied
[Outro]
At all the Gfools on Cmparade
Cavort and Emcarry on for waiting Bmeyes
Ones you would Amrather be beside than in Bmfront of
But she's Amnever been the kind
To be Dhollowed by the stares
GFools on Cmparade frolic and Emfuck about
To make a Bmgaze turn to a sAmcribble on a page by a Bmpicture
That holds her Amabsence
But you're Ddaft to think she'd care
GFools on paCmradeEm  Bm  
AmFools on paBmradeAm  D  
GFools on paCmrade
Conduct a sEming-alongBm  Am  Bm  Am  D

The story behind the song

"Secret Door" emerges from a period where Arctic Monkeys embraced a darker, more relaxed sound, departing from their earlier aggressive style. The album it comes from is infused with a spooky, carnivalesque atmosphere, complete with waltzing organs and circus-like drums. The lyrics move away from literal storytelling, instead using rampant analogies and transforming everyday characters into otherworldly figures. Playing this song channels a sense of mysterious allure, like peeking behind a velvet curtain into a shadowy, intriguing world.
