Bb                                       F
Don't paint me a picture, I've read the writing on the wall
Bb                               F
I got me a system, I don't even need a crystal ball
Bb                                   F             Dm
This sweet premonition is pretty convincing after all
            C      A7            Dm
'Cause I'm sure I know what the future holds
         Ebadd9
And what cards are gonna fall

Chorus:
          Fm7
Oh, but I better not tell you, better not tell you now
Bb7
I got a secret, baby
Fm7
Better not tell you, better not tell you now
Bb7
And I'm gonna keep it
C                       A7
I don't know if you've heard
           Dm                        G7
But baby, actions speak louder than words
       Ab                  Eb
So I better not tell you, better not tell you

Verse 2:
Bb                                               F7
It's fairly hard to be patient, waiting for the future to unfold
Bb                                    F7
It's a keen observation saying that fortune favors the bold
Bb                                         F7                   Dm
I got a prognostication if you could just give me your hand to hold
         C        A7           Dm
I would have no doubt, I could go all out
            Ebadd9
But when you lean in so close

Chorus:
          Fm7
Oh, but I better not tell you, better not tell you now
Bb7
I caught a feeling, yeah, yeah
Fm7
Better not tell you, better not tell you now
Bb7
We're up to the ceiling
               C                      A7
Oh, we could leave it in the hand of fate
                   Dm              G7
Or baby, we could take a leap of faith
              Ab                   Eb
Either way I better not tell you, better not tell you
