My Little Secret

Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes
          G     D
I cannot fall asleep
Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D                F
Drowning in this memory


[Verse 1]
     Am     Em
As I lay me down to sleep
  G                 D
I pray the memories won’t find me
        Am                            Em
Hit the bottle, hit the pills, trying anything
G                       D
Just to forget what you did to me
      Am               Em
Won’t tell my friends, won’t tell my shrink
      G              D
Yeah, maybe I should say something
        Am                       Em
But I’m terrified you’ll put the blame on me
     G                            D
So I live with the ghost, keep it buried deep


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Am            Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory
Dm         Am          Em
My past is taking over me
Dm         Am                Em        G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go


[Chorus]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes
          G     D
I cannot fall asleep
Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D                F
Drowning in this memory
An        Em
It has me paralyzed
            G        D
It’s always haunting me
    Am         Em                        G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
      D
Might kill me to keep it
     F
It’s my little secret


[Verse 2]
     Am             Em
I’ve seen so much I can’t unsee
     G                 D
I’ve learned to suffer silently
        Am                 En
Fight a war every day that no one sees
     G              D
It’s torture always remembering
  Am                 En
I don’t want them to think I’m weak
     G                D
So I bite my tongue until it bleeds
    Am                Em
The weight of this is breaking me
    G                     D
To keep it under lock and key


[Chorus]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes
          G     D
I cannot fall asleep
Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D                F
Drowning in this memory
An        Em
It has me paralyzed
            G        D
It’s always haunting me
    Am         Em                        G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
      D
Might kill me to keep it
     F
It’s my little secret


[Pre-Chorus]
Dm             Am            Em
Face-down as I drown in this memory
Dm         Am          Em
My past is taking over me
Dm         Am                Em        G
The more I fight it, it just won’t let go

[Chorus]
Am       Em
I cannot close my eyes
          G     D
I cannot fall asleep
Am             Em               G
Suffocating in doubt, all night face-down
D                F
Drowning in this memory
An        Em
It has me paralyzed
            G        D
It’s always haunting me
    Am         Em                        G
And no one believes me ’cause no one can see it
      D
Might kill me to keep it
     F
It’s my little
G
My little secret
