                       SECRET - Missy Higgins
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey, so this is my version of this AMAZING song...Its pretty simple, just 2 chords all
way through....you can either play them as open or a barre chords, it doesn't really
Also, there is a quick hit of the low E string between Gm, and Am as a transistion...it 
too important but it is what is on the record.
Tuning: Capo 1
Intro:  Am   Gx2
Verse:
You were Amfrom the North, I was Gfrom the South
We were from Amopposite places, dGifferent towns
But I Amknew it was good and yoGu knew it was too
So we mAmoved together like a Gball and chain
AmMinds becoming two hGalves of the same
AmIt was real, but in sGhadows it grAmewG  
Chorus:
Cos yAmou'vGe got a sAmecreGt donAm't ya babGe?Am  G  
I would've Amshouted loud and Gbroken through
I would've Amgiven it all to bGelong to you
But there were Amdifferent plansG, different rulAmesG  
You said "whAmere I'm from there is a Glock and key
If you'd bAme so kind as to fGollow me
I will sAmhow you the way to the Grest of my sinAms"G  
Chorus:
Cos yAmou'vGe got a sAmecrGet doAmn't ya babGe?Am  G  
Yeah Amyou, Gyou got a AmsecGret doAmn't ya babGe?
And AmI .G..Am...G..should knoAmwG  
Yeah AmI .G..Am...G.. should knoAmwG  
Am G..... all the way through.
Verse:
So this room was damp where your sins laid
There was that smell in the air of an old place
 That hadn't seen much daylight in years
And you threw me down, said, "If ya don't mind
I'm gonna leave you here until night time
Then we can do what we want my baby out of the spotlight."
Chorus:
Cos you've got a secret don't ya babe?
Yeah you, you got a secret don't ya babe?
And I should know
Yeah I should know
For I'm your secret aren't I babe?
(fades out.)
Yeah I'm your secret aren't I babe?
Aren't I babe?
