In My Secret Life
Leonard Cohen
Dm | C | F | |
In My | Secret | Life... |
F | |
I saw you this morning. |
Dm | |
You were moving so | fast. |
Bb | |
Can't seem to | loosen my grip |
C | |
On the | past. |
F | |
And I | miss you so much. |
Dm | |
There's no one in | sight. |
Bb | C | |
And we're | still making | love |
Dm | C | F | |
In My | Secret | Life. |
I smile when I'm angry. |
I cheat and I lie. |
I do what I have to do |
To get by. |
But I know what is wrong. |
And I know what is right. |
And I'd die for the truth |
In My Secret Life. |
Dm | C | Bb | |
Hold | on, hold | on, my | brother. |
Dm | C | Bb | |
My | sister, | hold on | tight. |
Dm | C | Bb | |
I | finally | got my | orders. |
C | Bb | |
I'll be | marching through the | morning, |
Bb | |
Marching through the | night, |
C | Bb | |
Moving cross the | borders |
C | |
Of My | Secret Life. |
Looked through the paper. |
Makes you want to cry. |
Nobody cares if the people |
Live or die. |
And the dealer wants you thinking |
That it's either black or white. |
Thank G-d it's not that simple |
In My Secret Life. |
I bite my lip. |
I buy what I'm told: |
From the latest hit, |
To the wisdom of old. |
But I'm always alone. |
And my heart is like ice. |
And it's crowded and cold |
In My Secret Life. |
