Girls Can Keep A Secret

C                Am
Girls can keep a secret can't they
    Dm               G
And they didn't know
C                 Am
For almost thirty weeks before
    Dm             G
She started to show
      Dm             G
She'd always seem to grow so fast
    Dm            G
And all they ever had to do
    C
Was ask


[Verse 2]

C                 Am
Boys can be such stupid bastards
      Dm            G
For a superior race
C                 Am
Mistaking all her tears for laughter
  Dm          G
I rest my case
Dm              G
Maybe they were going steady
        Dm
But the baby
         G
She just wasn't ready
     C        E
For this world
    Am         F
For this world

[2x]


[Verse 3]

C                 Am
This world can be cruel sometimes
        Dm         G
For the easily led
C                     Am
Don't let yourself be fooled by sunshine
    Dm                  G
And what the Bible says
Dm                  G
I'm not saying the Bible lies
     Dm                    G
It's just that some things don't apply
   C         E
To this world
   Am        F
To this world

[2x]


[Solo]

Dm   G    x4


[Chorus 1]

C            E
And all this comes to pass
Am              F
When a child is born at last
C                     E
Into the world at The Hotel Fleapit
Am                  F
How could this girl keep her secret


[Verse 4]

    Dm          G
The prosecution and defence
Dm                 G
Stepped down and approached the bench
       Dm           G
As she lay the body on the table
    Dm           G
She wasn't ready fit or able
     C        E
For this world
    Am         F
For this world

[2x]


[Chorus 2]

C            E
And all this comes to pass
Am              F
When a child is born at last
   C         E
In this world
   Am        F
In this world
