  In My Secret Life...

FF
 I saw you this morning.
          DmDm
You were moving so fast.
        Bb majorBb
Can't seem to loosen my grip
    C majorC
On the past.
    FF
And I miss you so much.
          DmDm
There's no one in sight.
      Bb majorBb     C majorC
And we're still making love
DmDm    C majorC   FF
  In My Secret Life.

I smile when I'm angry.
I cheat and I lie.
I do what I have to do
To get by.
But I know what is wrong.
And I know what is right.
And I'd die for the truth
In My Secret Life.

   DmDm    C majorC    Bb majorBb
Hold on, hold on, my brother.
  DmDm   C majorC    Bb majorBb
My sister, hold on tight.
  DmDm   C majorC   Bb majorBb
I finally got my orders.
     C majorC          Bb majorBb
I'll be marching through the morning,
 C majorC          Bb majorBb
Marching through the night,
 C majorC        Bb majorBb
Moving cross the borders
    C majorC
Of My Secret Life.

Looked through the paper.
Makes you want to cry.
Nobody cares if the people
Live or die.
And the dealer wants you thinking
That it's either black or white.
Thank G-d it's not that simple
In My Secret Life.

I bite my lip.
I buy what I'm told:
From the latest hit,
To the wisdom of old.
But I'm always alone.
And my heart is like ice.
And it's crowded and cold
In My Secret Life.
