Chords

Hey guys, I wrote that tab because the others seemed quite hard and because I couldn't find a version including the riff of the Confessions Tour version (which is the best part of the song). When you play the riff, you might want to replace the last note by an Am chord. To play that version of the song, you have to put your CAPO on the FIFTH FRET. Let me know in the comments below if you find any mistake and have fun !

  Am     G       F       G     
I have a tale to tell

    Am               G               F      G
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well

Am           G             F       G
   I was not ready for the fall

    Am               G              F        G
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
[Chorus:]
  Dm             C         
A man can tell a thousand lies

     Dm                Em
I've learned my lesson well

               Am
Hope I live to tell

           Em                    G
The secret I have learned, 'till then

        Am             F       G 
It will burn inside of me
[RIFF]
  Am         G      F       G
I know where beauty lives

     Am              G                 F           G
I've seen it once, I know the warm she gives

Am                 G               F        G
   The light that you could never see

   Am                 G                    F       G
It shines inside, you can't take that from me
[Chorus:]
  Dm             C         
A man can tell a thousand lies

     Dm                Em
I've learned my lesson well

               Am
Hope I live to tell

           Em                    G
The secret I have learned, 'till then

        Am             F       G 
It will burn inside of me
[2nd Chorus:]
    Dm             C
The truth is never far behind

    Dm             Em
You kept it hidden well

             Am
If I live to tell

           Em
The secret I knew then

     G      Am       F      Am
Will I ever have the chance again

         Am        G              C
If I ran away, I'd never have the strength

           Em
To go very far

               Am       G             Em        
How would they hear the beating of my heart

             Am
Will it grow cold

    G             C                 Em
The secret that I hide, will I grow old

              Am
How will they hear

               G
When will they learn

              Am
How will they know
