------------------------------------------------------------------------------- THE SECRET'S IN THE TELLING – Dashboard Confessional ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tabbed by: Steph Email: [email protected] intro: C A F F-G F F-G C A F F-G F F-G verse 1:
G 
The signal is subtle

Em           F
We pass just close enough to touch

G
No questions, no answers

Em         F
We know by now to say enough

G
With only simple words

Em        F
With only subtle turns

G
The things we feel alone for one another
chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep

        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep

          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we must do

          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Em                  F
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight
verse 2:
G
Our act of defiance

Em           F
We keep this secret in our blood

G
No paper or letters

Em           F
We pass just close enough to touch

G
We love in secret names

Em          F
We hide within our veins

G
The things that keep us bound to one another
chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep

        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep

          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we must do

          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
bridge:
          Am
Until the last resilient hope

           F
Has frozen deep inside my bones

         C
And this broken fate has claimed me

       F
And my memories for its own

             Am
Your name is pounding through my veins

          F
Can't you hear how it is sung?

          C
And I can taste you in my mouth

           G
Before the words escape my lungs

          C
And I'll whisper only once...
chorus:
           F              Am                
There is a secret that we keep

        C
I won't sleep if you won't sleep 

          F                Am                   G
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

           F        Am      C
We are compelled to do what we have to

          F                 Am              G
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden
ending:
                F      Am     C
'Cause you will be somebody's girl

             F         Am    G
And you will keep each other warm

      F          C       Am   G   F
But tonight I am feeling cold
