It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
It's no secret that our world is in darkness tonight
 AD
They say the sun is sometimes eclipsed by a moon
 E
You know I don't see you when she walks in the room
It's no secret that a friend is someone who lets you help
It's no secret that a liar won't believe anyone else
They say a secret is something you tell one other person
So I'm telling you, child
 C#mE
(Love, we shine like a             A man will beg
 A
Burning star                       A man will crawl
We're fallin' from On the sheer face of love
C#m E A Like a fly from the wall
The sky... tonight) It's no secret at all
It's no secret that a conscience can sometimes be a pest
It's no secret that ambition bites the nails of success
Every artist is a cannibal Every poet is a thief
All kill their inspiration and sing about their grief

(Love, we shine like a A man will rise
Burning star A man will fall
We're falling from From the sheer face of love
The sky... tonight) Like a fly from the wall
It's no secret at all
 E
It's no secret that the stars are falling from the sky
The universe exploding 'cosa one man's lie
Look I gotta go, yeah I'm running out of change
There's a lot of things if I could I'd rearrange

first knob closest to the distortion knob, just so you have to turn up
your volume knob a couple notches more.
