[Verse]
G              C        G
I know all the names of your tears
G           D        C
The numbers of those lonely years
G               C       G
I know all the "someone someday"s
G       D          C
Don't believe them anyway


[Chorus]
         C
When you love someone
D              G
You can always tell the sun
           C
It will be twilight soon
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon
     C
In a darkened room
D             G
Write it on a black balloon
              C
Then watch it fade from view
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon

[Verse]
G              C      G
I can show you sadder poetry
G        D            C
Than you ever dreamed there could be
G              C       G
I know all the saddest people
G       D        C
Most of them are dead now


[Chorus]
         C
When you love someone
D              G
You can always tell the sun
           C
It will be twilight soon
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon
     C
In a darkened room
D             G
Write it on a black balloon
              C
Then watch it fade from view
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon


[Chorus]

When you love someone
D              G
You can always tell the sun
           C
It will be twilight soon
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon
     C
In a darkened room
D             G
Write it on a black balloon
              C
Then watch it fade from view
D                     G
Save a secret for the moon
