To Hide A Little Thought chords by Hefner

Em
I tried to hide a little thought
G
The more I tried the worse things got
Bm
It started out so meek and small
G
But in a wink pervaded all


C
Just a stray little stray, stray, stray
            D
By trying to hide if I'd asked it to stay
           C
By trying to hide if I'd made it a bed
             D
from which to rule the world unsaid

Em
To hide a little thought
 Em
A little vagabond
 Em
A sprite in the dark
    Em
that wouldn't move along


                           Em
Many thoughts they come and go
G
This too shall pass, she'll never know
Bm
But since my way is bold and free
G
She noticed something strange in me

                                   C
Maybe my voice speeded up or slowed down
        D
Maybe my eyes started darting around
        C
Maybe my hands started covering my face
       D
Maybe I rambled all over the place


Em
To hide a little thought
 Em
A little vagabond
 Em
A sprite in the dark
    Em
that wouldn't move along

Break: F#m

                            F#m
I don't say each thing on my mind
A
To say each thing would be unkind
                          C#m
But with someone I know so well
A
it's so unlike me not to tell

D
Usually I like confrontations, I do
          E
I get this thrill out of sayin' what's true
         D
I look so lifeless when I try to lie
               E
That's why it's easy to tell when I try


F#m
To hide a little thought
 F#m
A little vagabond
 F#m
A sprite in the dark
    F#m
