We’re watching our steps all the time, there’s fire on the ground

We know of the danger of slipping around
                   E                         B           E
We’re watching our steps all the time, don’t call him my name

Our love is a secret, our love is a shame

E 					   B
You knew not to hold me the way that you do
               B                 E           B
I married your best friend, like sisters are you
               E         E7                 A
I tried not to kiss you, but your lips made me
               E                 B           E
You married my best friend, like brothers to be

We’re watching our steps all the time, any day talk can start
We have a secret buried deep in our hearts
We’re watching our steps all the time, or there will be pain
Our love is a secret, our love is a shame

Verse 1
