C                            A#
It seems we caused a forest fire
With just a flicker of a flame
And now I set alight to everything
Now all I do is cause you pain

Chorus:
A#                     F
I won't keep secrets alive
D#                         A#
I'll send them all out to space
                        F
Without the will to survive
D#                       A#
They won't be going no place
C      A#
Oh, my angel
C       A#
Woman, child

I used to think the time would come
When man would rise above the beast
I gave up thinking that way long ago
In conversation with a priest

Chorus:
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh, my angel
Woman, child

D#
We could heal this blindness
Fm
With some human kindness
D#
I know secrets kill you
Fm
But my love can fill you
Time and time again
Time and time again
It would be so fine
If you could be mine

Chorus:
I won't keep secrets alive
I'll send them all out to space
Without the will to survive
They won't be going no place
Oh, my angel
Woman, child
