| Bm | G | |
| I | stay up late and read a lot at | night |
| A | Bm | |
| Lately she's begun to wonder | why |
| Em | |
| She don't know I'm scared that I'll start | talkin' in my sleep |
| A | Bm | |
| You're A | Hard Secret To | Keep. |
| Bm | G | |
| Every time she asks were I've | been |
| A | Bm | |
| A | cheater's paranoida be | gins |
| Em | |
| Scrabblin' for an answer any | thing she might believe |
| A | Bm | |
| You're A | Hard Secret To | Keep. |
| Chorus: |
| G | A | Bm | |
| One slip of the | tounges all it would | take |
| Em | F#m | |
| Just one little note that I | forgot to throw away |
| Bm | Em | |
| The | slightest trace of makeup on a | shirt that won't come clean |
| A | Bm | |
| You're A | Hard Secret To | Keep. |
| G | A | Bm |
| Bm | G | |
| I never meant for you to touch my | heart |
| A | Bm | |
| Never meant to take one night this | far |
| Em | |
| How much longer can I live this | double life I lead |
| A | Bm | |
| You're A | Hard Secret To | Keep. |
| Chorus: |
| Bm | Em | |
| I | wonder if she feels you every | time she touches me |
| A | Bm | |
| You're A | Hard Secret To | Keep. |
