Live to Tell

(Dm)I (C)have (F)a (Gm)tale (F)to (C)tell.

(Dm)(C)Sometimes it gets so (F)(Gm)hard to hide it (F)well.

(C)I was (F)not (Gm)ready for the (F)fall.

(Dm)Too (C)blind to see (F)the (Gm)writing on the (F)wall.

(C)A (Gm7)man can tell a (F)thousand lies;

I've (Gm7)learned my lesson well.

(Am)Hope I (Bb)live to tell (Gm7)the secret I (F)have learned.

(Dm)Till (Bb)then, (C)it will (Dm)burn (C)inside of me.

(Dm)I (C)know (F)where (Gm)(F)beauty (C)lives.

(Dm)I've (C)seen it once, I (F)know (Gm)the warmth she (F)gives.

(C)The light (F)that (Gm)you could never (F)see.

(Dm)It (C)shines inside,

(F)you (Gm)can't take that from (F)me.

(C)A (Gm7)man can tell a (F)thousand lies;

I've (Gm7)learned my lesson (Am)well.

(Dm11)The (Gm7)truth is never (F)far behind;

you (Gm7)kept it hidden (Am)well.

If (Bb)I live to (Gm7)tell the secret (F)I knew then,

(Dm)will (Bb)I (C)ever (Dm)have the chance (C)(Bb)again?

If I ran away,

(Bb)I'd (C)never have the strength

(Dm)to go very far.

(Am7)How would they hear

(Bb)the (C)beating of my heart?

(Bb)Will it grow cold,

the (C)secret that I hide?

(Dm)Will I grow old?

(Am7)How will they hear,

(Bb)when will they learn,

(C)how will they (Dm)know?
