A                                       E                 
Well, everybody talks but nobody understands

                           G                                      D
and everyone takes just as much as they can

                                    B                                      G
but at the top of the stairs there's a room with a key 

             C               G                  D
because i've got a secret inside of me

                                A                                     E            
And everybody's lost and nobodys found the path we should

G                                           D
walk across this treacherous ground

                                    B                            G
But i go where I like and do what I please 

             C               G                  D
because i've got a secret inside of me

             C               G                  D
and no one can take that away

                             A                                       E              
And everybody comes and everybody goes
 
                                          G                                      D
when your number comes up nobody ever realy knows
 
                                           B                                            G
but my eyes are wide open and my conscience is clear

             C               G                  D
Because i've got a secret inside of me

             C               G                  D
and no one can take that away

                    A#
seems like everything i do, everything i pray

                                                                                          C
everything i try every single day only seems to come out backwards for me 

                   A#
meanwhile everybody laughs, everybody lies, everybody lives, everybody tries

                             D
just to make it through another day

 F#         A         E           G       D
(Bridge)

                                  B                                               G
And if everyone shut up maybe i could hear myself scream

                   C                  G                 D
because i've got a secret inside of me

                   C            G            D
and no one can take that away
