(INTRO) (2) (3) ^ ^ ^-^ (2X)
I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard - to hide it well
I was not ready - for the fall
Too blind to see the writing - on the wall
Chorus
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
(INTRO) (2) (3) ^ ^ ^-^ (2X)
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once, - I know the warm she gives
The light that you could never see
It shines inside - you can't take that - from me
Chorus
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
Chorus
2):
The truth is never far behind
You kept it hidden well
If I live to tell The secret I knew then Will I
ever have the chance again
D2 (2) (3) [LENTO]
(Bridge):
Lam7
I ran away, - I'd never have the strength - To go very far
How would they hear - the beating of my heart
Lam7
Will it grow cold - The secret that I hide, - will I grow old
How will they hear - When will they learn - How will they know
