Bm                         Em
Down where the shadows can offer me darkness
A                         D                     Bm
I like to roam where the sunlight can't find me out
Em                    A
Somewhere I can't be found
Bm                 Em
Faces and places I won't see again
A                   D                Bm
Nobody knows me but everyone here is my friend
          Em            A
Till the night comes to an end
       D
And I do it again

G       A
Always hiding
                 F#m      Bm
You don't wanna know the real me
                 G      A
I'm so tired of trying to be
F#m                     Bm
Someone I'm not when I know what I want

Chorus:
        Em
Secret life
                   A
I get in so much trouble when I'm not with you
        Em
Secret life
      A
Is a lie that I live when I'm living without you

Swim to the deep end till I lose my breath
Looking around I can see that there's no one left
Just me and my regret
I'm back here again

Always lying
I don't even know the real me
I'm so tired of trying to be
Something I'm not, I don't know what I want

Chorus

(I won't tell if you don't tell)
(I won't tell if you don't tell)
(I won't tell if you don't tell)
(I won't tell if you don't tell)

Always hiding
You don't wanna know the real me
I'm so tired of trying to be
Someone I'm not when I know what I want

Chorus
