verse 1: D Em Blue light breaking on the window glass & cool wind shaking in the long white grass G A D The ocean speaks the language of the dawn D Em Thin sails rising on the autumn sky, and the old man’s singing while the knots untie G A D I looked back and all the ships are gone.Sold white carnations in an neon bar And when he turned sixteen he bought a stolen car, Drove all the way to Dallas in the dark. And I could fall in love but I’m so damn young And I try to hold on but then the quicker rains come And everytime they fall it breaks my heart.Em D And no one’s gonna know Em G D The thousand little secrets that are slippin’ through the undertow. Em G D A There’s a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside Em A D and it’s a thousand secrets wide.Bridge: G A Bm G A Bm Every broken bridge, there’s mile of fallen leaves. G A Bm G A D And no one knows the river flows a thousand miles deep. verse 3: Wanna walk on water, wanna walk downstream, I wanna walk back to New Orleans, with the crash of broken glass in the yard. I wanna quit this city in the midnight hush of a pale moon shinin’ on a southbound bus. You never know what you’ve lost until you lose it hard. And no one’s gonna know The thousand little secrets that are slippin’ through the undertow. There’s a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside and it’s a thousand secrets wide. There’s a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside and it’s a thousand secrets wide. and it’s a thousand secrets wide. and it’s a thousand secrets wide.And no one’s gonna know The thousand little secrets that are slippin’ through the undertow. There’s a quiet hunger I have curled myself inside and it’s a thousand secrets wide.
