C A# F# F#-G# F# F#-G#

verse 1:
G# 
The signal is subtle
Fm           F#
We pass just close enough to touch
G#
No questions, no answers
Fm         F#
We know by now to say enough
G#
With only simple words
Fm        F#
With only subtle turns
G#
The things we feel alone for one another

           F#             A#m                
There is a secret that we keep

I won't sleep if you won't sleep

Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given

We are compelled to do what we must do

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

Fm                  F#
So I won't sleep if you won't sleep tonight

verse 2:
G#
Our act of defiance
Fm           F#
We keep this secret in our blood
G#
No paper or letters
Fm           F#
We pass just close enough to touch
G#
We love in secret names
Fm          F#
We hide within our veins
G#
The things that keep us bound to one another

           F#             A#m                
There is a secret that we keep

I won't sleep if you won't sleep

We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

bridge:
          A#m
Until the last resilient hope
           F#
Has frozen deep inside my bones
         C#
And this broken fate has claimed me
       F#
And my memories for its own
             A#m
Your name is pounding through my veins
          F#
Can't you hear how it is sung?
          C#
And I can taste you in my mouth
           G#
Before the words escape my lungs
          C#
And I'll whisper only once...

chorus:
           F#             A#m                
There is a secret that we keep
        C#
I won't sleep if you won't sleep
          F#               A#m                  G#
Because tonight may be the last chance we'll be given
           F#       A#m     C#
We are compelled to do what we have to
          F#                A#m             G#
We are compelled to do what we have been forbidden

ending:
                F#     A#m    C#
'Cause you will be somebody's girl
             F#        A#m   G#
And you will keep each other warm
      F#         C#      A#m  G#   F#
But tonight I am feeling cold
