[Verse 1]
B E E I'm sorry to say that you don't know me E E A A I'm sad in ways you never understood A A D D Each time I try to tell the ugly truth D D D You always let it pass you by D D You said I'd never tell you a lie B B Just because I could B B E E Did you really think I was a bad man E E A A You always said that that should be my middle name A A D But you don't know the half of it D D D You don't know how that name fits D B D B You don't know my hidden shame
[Chorus]
E C#m Hidden shame, shame, shame D B That I can't get free E C#m From the blame and the torture D B And the misery D B D B Must it be my secret for eternity D B D B B B Until you know my hidden shame, you really don't know me
[Verse 2]
B B E E Well, there's a different kind of prison E E A A And it don't even have to look much like a cell A A D It's already on your mind D D Boy, we can see it in your eyes D B B So, here's the bars and walls as well B B E E Well, you know I'm never coming home, babe E E A A You said you'd stand by me until I cleared my name A A D Sure, it's easy to be strong D D When you know the charge is wrong D D But the days and weeks get long D B D B When you've got a hidden shame
[Chorus]
E C#m Hidden shame, shame, shame D B That I can't get free E C#m From the blame and the torture D B And the misery D B D B Must it be my secret for eternity D B D B Until you know my hidden shame, you really don't know me

[Verse 3]
B B E E I had a friend when I was just a boy E E A A We were like brothers, we would run and hide A A D D And we went walking on a high hillside D D D And I really don't how it happened D D D D He turned to me and had this strange look in his eye D D D And not a single word was spoken D D D D I must have pushed him, but I don't remember why D D D D And all at once, he lay there broken D B D B And I walked down without him and I didn't even sigh
[Chorus]
E C#m Hidden shame, shame, shame D B That I can't get free E C#m From the blame and the torture D B And the misery D B D B Must it be my secret for eternity D B D B B B Until you know my hidden shame, you really don't know me
[Verse 4]
B B E E They say you always hurt the one you love E E A A And I'm not saying if I did or if I didn't A A D D But like my shame, that kind of love is always hidden D D D D They locked me up here for the ideas in my head D B D B They never got me for the thing I really did
[Chorus]
E C#m Hidden shame, shame, shame D B That I can't get free E C#m From the blame and the torture D B And the misery D B D B Must it be my secret for eternity D B D B Until you know my hidden shame, you really don't know me B B B You really don't know me B B You really don't know me
