Dm          C       F    - Dm            C      F
    In my secret life.         In my secret life. (2x)
 
   F                                                                      Dm
1.   I saw you this morning you were moving so fast,
                           Bb                                C
    can't seem to loosen my grip on the past.
                F                                                      Dm
    And I miss you so much, there's no one in sight,
                      Bb              C
    and we're still making love, oh !
Dm          C       F    - Dm            C      F
    In my secret life.         In my secret life. 
 
           F                                                 Dm
2. I smile when I'm angry, I cheat and I lie,
                  Bb                            C
    I do what I have to do to get by.
                 F                                                        Dm
    But I know what is wrong and I know what is right,
                 Bb              C
    and I'd die for the truth, oh ! 
Dm          C       F    - Dm            C      F
    In my secret life.         In my secret life.
 
           Dm          C           Bb             Dm       C        Bb
+  Hold on, hold on, my brother, my sister, hold on tight !
      Dm       C       Bb                   Gm
    I finally got my orders, I'll be marching through the morning,
     Am
    marching through the night,
       Bb                                              C
    moving cross the borders of my secret life.
 
    F                                                                             Dm
3.     Looked through the paper, makes you want to cry,
                  Bb                                     C
    nobody cares if the people live or die.
F                                                                                                Dm
    And the dealer wants you thinking that it's either black or white,
                Bb                               - C
    thank God it's not that simple        in my secret life.
F                                              Dm
    I bite my lip, I buy what I'm told :
Bb                                                           C
    From the latest hit, to the wisdom of old.
                 F                                                    Dm
    But I'm always alone, and my heart is like ice,
                   Bb                C
    and it's crowded and cold, oh !

 

Dm          C       F    - Dm            C      F
    In my secret life.         In my secret life. (3x)
