lyrics

HOLD ON TO ALL THE SECRETS

verse: Bb F
chorus: [Dm Dm A Bb F F F7 F7] x2 Dm Dm A Bb F Gm7 Bb C F
bridge: [F C Dm A F A Bb Bb] x2 Bbm

hold on to all the secrets that you got
the scandal will be simpler when i get caught
& it's alright that it's all wrong
you'll hear your worst fears in a hand-me-down song &

CH.
it's dangerous to get to know me &
you are on the list, right below me
oh & you'll be safe unless you throw me
so behave & watch what you say

remind me how you won?
the mot juste, the antidote & the tip of my tongue
& i talked a blue streak
now you're blue, well what's new? another record-breaking week

[chorus]
[solo over verse]

BR.
(in my head the beautiful things i've said
should make you feel better but you feel worse instead.) x2

hold on to all the secrets that you got...
