How Long Must You Keep Me A Secret

 Db Ab Db Ab


(Verse 1)
    Db                               Ab
You hold me close, you kiss my lips, you call me darlin'.
Ab                                    Db
But you belong to him and it hurts me so.
Gb                                 Db
Long ago you swore that you didn't love him anymore.
    Ab                         Db
But when are you gonna let him know?



(Chorus)
    Gb                      Db      Ab
How long must you keep me a secret, when will you tell him
      Db
'bout me?
    Gb                                  Bbm           Ebm
How long must you keep me a secret, oh, darlin', when are
    Ab       Db........A
you gonna be free?



(Verse 2)
    D                                            A
You meet me on the darkest streets, we steal our moments.
A                                          D
Afraid someone will come and we'll have to part.
G                              D
When will it be time for me to show the world you're mine?
     A                         D
Stop keepin' me hidden in your heart.



(Chorus)
    G                       D       A
How long must you keep me a secret, when will you tell him
      D
'bout me?
    G                       D           Bm            Em
How long must you keep me a secret, oh, darlin', when are
    A        D
you gonna be free?



(Outro)
Em          A        D
When are we gonna be free?
